This report is a collection of other reports and documents on Corporate Subsidies only, although it does include some general information on the Oil & Gas Industry, Farm Subsidies and Tax Expenditures. A more specific report on the latter three can be found in reports linked at the bottom.

NOTE: There are literally hundreds of reports on Corporate Subsidies. Many are undermined by self-serving purposes, but some are not. You may find a mixture of those in this report. In addition, depending on what and who these reports included or excluded, the total dollars for a particular subsidy will vary, sometimes considerably.

“The nation’s largest corporations and richest citizens receive more welfare money than our social welfare programs.”

It is important to note that many reports on Corporate Subsidies include other things such as Tax Expenditures. Thus, one of the reasons for the conflicting dollar amounts between reports. This effort attempts to focus just on Corporate subsidies, but does reference reports that include Tax Expenditures. That said, the most common figure quoted for Corporate Subsidies only is about $100 billion each year.

“Entitlement spending on households is surprisingly “flat” in the U.S. — the spending is distributed proportionately among the various income groups. However, federal spending tilts in favor of the rich when you add corporate welfare to the mix. And this pro-wealthy favoritism becomes more pronounced when you consider who is paying for it: over the last few decades, the tax rates for the rich have sharply fallen, both in personal income and corporate taxes.”

The Department of Sociology at Virginia Tech produced a study a few years back where, in part, they compared Corporate Subsidies (welfare) to social welfare:

“The nation’s largest corporations and richest citizens receive more welfare money than our social welfare programs. In 1994, the United States spent $104.3 billion on corporate welfare, while spending only $14.4 billion on Aid to Families with Dependent Children (AFDC; now TANF). If we add together recent federal monies spent on AFDC/TANF, food stamps and Medicaid, it comes to about $85 billion annually. The total cost of the corporate tax breaks and subsidies is hundreds of billions of dollars.”

“While the US establishment is pushing for reduction of welfare for the poor and for developing countries to cut government subsidies, the US government is giving hundreds of billions of dollars of subsidies and tax breaks to its companies and individuals.”

Discounted user fees for public resources

Direct grants

Corporate tax reductions and loopholes

Giveaways of publicly funded research and development (R&D) to private profit-making companies

“Most successful US industries wouldn’t be competitive internationally if the federal government hadn’t developed their basic technology with your tax dollars, then given it away to private companies. Computers, biotech and commercial aviation are examples, and so-preeminently-is nuclear power.”

The U.S. government doles out more than $167 billion annually in what critics dub “aid for dependent corporations (AFDC).”This corporate welfare includes: (1) cash payments by governments to businesses; (2) government provision of below-cost products and services, such as loans and insurance, to businesses; (3) tax breaks for businesses; (4) laws—and changes in laws—that help business bottom lines; and (5) government purchases of goods and services from businesses at inflated prices (though laws are supposed to prevent this).U.S. aid for international investors, exporters, and importers exceeds $32 billion annually and benefits such “needy” recipients as General Motors, Citibank, Archer Daniels Midland, and Boeing. The Market Access Program (MAP), for example, uses taxpayer money to reimburse corporate foreign advertising costs. The Overseas Private Investment Corporation (OPIC) supplies loans and insurance to companies investing abroad. Federal tax law allows exporters to exempt a portion of revenues from taxation.

(The report includes farm related subsidies.)

(In 1998 TIME Magazine published an investagative report entitled “Corporate Welfare”. It was published in parts over four consecutive issues. The report covered Corporate Subsidies at both the Federal and States’ level and includes “Tax Expenditures”, which is a concession of tax revenue’s, as well as direct payouts of money to corporations. As such, it applies to all four of my reports: Corporate Subsidies, Tax Expenditures, Oil & Gas Industry Subsidies and Farm Subsidies. Hence, references to and excerpts from the TIME report may be included in each of those.)

NOTE: References and excerpts included here from the TIME report are primarily about Corporate Subsidies.

TIME COVER

The investigation leading to TIME Magazine’s report took 18 months. It was published over four consecutive issues of the magazine: November 9, 16, 23, and 30.The first part begins with an attempt to get ones attention:

“How would you like to pay only a quarter of the real estate taxes you owe on your home? And buy everything for the next 10 years without spending a single penny in sales tax? Keep a chunk of your paycheck free of income taxes? Have the city in which you live lend you money at rates cheaper than any bank charges? Then have the same city install free water and sewer lines to your house, offer you a perpetual discount on utility bills–and top it all off by landscaping your front yard at no charge?”

But then they burst your bubble:

“Fat chance. You can’t get any of that, of course. But if you live almost anywhere in America, all around you are taxpayers getting deals like this. These taxpayers are called corporations.”

As for what states and local governments hand over, this is what Time had to say:

“There are no reasonably accurate estimates on the amount of money states shovel out. That’s because few want you to know. Some say they maintain no records. Some say they don’t know where the files are. Some say the information is not public. All that’s certain is that the figure is in the many billions of dollars each year–and it is growing, when measured against the subsidy per job.”

**********

“There is no uniform definition [for this welfare]. By TIME’s definition, it is this: any action by local, state or federal government that gives a corporation or an entire industry a benefit not offered to others. It can be an outright subsidy, a grant, real estate, a low-interest loan or a government service. It can also be a tax break–a credit, exemption, deferral or deduction, or a tax rate lower than the one others pay.

“Two years after Congress reduced welfare for individuals and families, this other kind of welfare continues to expand, penetrating every corner of the American economy. It has turned politicians into bribery specialists, and smart business people into con artists. And most surprising of all, it has rarely created any new jobs.[bold added]

“The justification for much of this welfare is that the U.S. government is creating jobs. Over the past six years, Congress appropriated $5 billion to run the Export-Import Bank of the United States, which subsidizes companies that sell goods abroad. James A. Harmon, president and chairman, puts it this way: “American workers…have higher-quality, better-paying jobs, thanks to Eximbank’s financing.” But the numbers at the bank’s five biggest beneficiaries–AT&T, Bechtel, Boeing, General Electric and McDonnell Douglas (now a part of Boeing)–tell another story. At these companies, which have accounted for about 40% of all loans, grants and long-term guarantees in this decade, overall employment has fallen 38%, as more than a third of a million jobs have disappeared.

“FORTUNE 500 companies have erased more jobs than they have created this past decade, and yet they are the biggest beneficiaries of corporate welfare.

**********

“From her second-floor offices bordering the sparkling Caribbean at Charlotte Amalie, the capital of the U.S. Virgin Islands, Catherine Sittig presides over one of the corporate-welfare system’s most enduring success stories.

“Sittig’s company represents hundreds of U.S. corporations–she won’t say exactly how many–that have offshore affiliates in the islands. This isn’t as demanding as it might sound. It’s largely a matter of filing papers and mailing out invoices.

“After all, the companies she represents are just paper entities. But they have come to represent a drain, created by Congress and perfectly legal, of $1.7 billion annually on the U.S. Treasury.

“It works like this:

“A company sets up what is called a foreign sales corporation. Companies can form FSCs in 32 countries designated by Congress–among them Jamaica and Barbados–or in a U.S. possession like the Virgin Islands. The company then funnels its exports (or, more accurately, the paperwork for its exports) through its offshore FSC. Presto: no federal income taxes on a portion of those export profits.

“Programs such as foreign sales corporations are a product of Congress’s attempts to legislate economic behavior–attempts that generally fail, to the detriment of the Treasury. In 1971 legislators became alarmed at the growing trade deficit–imports that exceeded exports–and the threat to American jobs. So Congress came up with a program, the Domestic International Sales Corporation, that deferred corporate taxes on export income. The idea was to encourage companies to keep jobs here.

“It didn’t work: the new law had no impact on the nation’s trade deficit or manufacturing employment. While collecting billions of dollars in subsidies, corporate America continued to move manufacturing abroad. The merchandise trade deficit spiraled from $2 billion in 1971 to $67 billion by 1984.

**********

“How would you like to get the Federal Government to invest with you in a hot new business in the global market? For every buck you put up, the government, in the form of something called the Overseas Private Investment Corporation (OPIC), puts up two bucks. Best of all, if the deal goes sour because of a crumbling economy, currency devaluation or some other unforeseen event, you won’t have to pay back the government’s share.

“Sound too good to be true? It is. Unless you have $1 million or more to put in the pot. That’s most often the minimum investment required for one of these deals. As a result, investors fall into three broad groups: wealthy individuals, institutions such as pension funds, and large corporations like GE and Citicorp.

“In the 1990s, the Overseas Private Investment Corporation has established 26 funds, which have invested $3.2 billion in businesses in Europe, Asia and Latin America. The U.S. Agency for International Development (AID) has established 11 other funds with 1.4 billion taxpayer dollars.

“In the case of AID’s so-called enterprise funds, the investment dollars are supplied directly by you, the taxpayer.

“Who gets to sponsor or manage a government-backed or -bankrolled investment fund? People who have the proper political ties or who are major campaign contributors or both.

**********

“A corporate-welfare bureaucracy of an estimated 11,000 organizations and agencies has grown up, with access to city halls, statehouses, the Capitol and the White House. They conduct seminars, conferences and training sessions. They have their own trade associations. They publish their own journals and newsletters. They create attractive websites on the Internet. And they never call it “welfare.” They call it “economic incentives” or “empowerment zones” or “enterprise zones.”

**********

“The Federal Government alone shells out $125 billion a year in corporate welfare, this in the midst of one of the more robust economic periods in the nation’s history. Indeed, thus far in the 1990s, corporate profits have totaled $4.5 trillion–a sum equal to the cumulative paychecks of 50 million working Americans who earned less than $25,000 a year, for those eight years.

“And what are those costs? The equivalent of nearly two weekly paychecks from every working man and woman in America–extra money that would stay in their pockets if it didn’t go to support some business venture or another.

Evidently Time has archived the articles that followed the first one linked above. However, this was pieced together, including the first part, and convert it to a PDF. It reads like the take-over of a third-world country, and SHOULD BE REQUIRED READING FOR EVERY AMERICAN WHO IS VOTING AGE.

Many of these companies are double, triple and quadruple-dippers into the taxpayer pig trough. And there are no time limits to these Corporate Subsidies — they go on forever, unlike most social welfare programs.

Ironically — ironic in that it was coming from the CATO Institute — Moore said:

“One perverse, but predictable outcome of a $100 billion-plus corporate welfare state is that industry begins to view Congress, rather than consumers, as their real customers. Moreover, industry has done an all effective job at protecting their subsidies.”

However, if you read Moore’s report you will find that he was looking for a way to pay for the elimination of other taxes such as the so-called “death tax” and “capital gains tax” ($95 billion annually at the time), of which only those with more than $2 million of inheritance would benefit, and very wealthy people who have rolling investments where they experience very large capital gains each year.

Another report from the OMB Watch in 2002 gave us the following information:

Spending for corporate welfare programs outweighs spending for low-income programs by more than three to one: $167 billion to $51.7 billion.

Total federal spending on a safety net for the poor costs the average taxpayer about $400 a year, while spending on corporate welfare programs costs the same taxpayer about $1400 a year.

Over 90% of the budget cuts passed by the last Congress cut spending for the poor– programs that ensure food for the needy, housing for the homeless, job training for the unemployed, community health care for the sick. (Source: Center on Budget and Policy Priorities.

Only 3.9%of total federal outlays go to programs that solely benefit poor people.

Welfare programs for corporations do not play by the same rules as welfare for people. Welfare benefits for individuals and families are limited by strict eligibility requirements and time limits, while corporations get Corporate Welfare benefits regardless of wealth or accountability.

Individuals and families must demonstrate need to receive benefits, while corporations with billions of dollars in annual income remain on the federal dole.

Most social spending is in the form of discretionary spending, which is scrutinized in the annual budget negotiating process in Congress; most Corporate Welfare programs are in the form of tax expenditures, which go on and on since they are not subject to annual review by Congress.

A sort of indirect corporate subsidizing comes in the form of health care cost. Since many corporations are significantly decreasing health care coverage for employees, states are having to pick up the cost. From an updated report early last year: “states are being put in a position of subsidizing the cost-cutting measures of private sector employers”. You can check to see if your state is on the list; if not, go to “Show Us the Subsidies” and look up your state.

The last two links above is web pages of “Good Jobs First” whose objective, in big part, is to be a Corporate Subsidy Watchdog group. GJF does not necessarily segregate Corporate Subsidies, Tax Expenditures or Farm subsidies; in many cases they’re combined.

GJF has case studies on:

Boeing – $3.2 billion tax concession (nearly 100% of their tax liability) from the state of Seattle to remain in that state. In addition taxpayers were stuck with an additional gasoline tax to fund transportation improvements, and they overhauled the unemployment insurance system to reduce costs for employers and tightened up on workers compensation claims. Boeing later received $32 million from the state to cover the cost of training and other unnamed “sweeteners”. Boeing got these concessions through an implied blackmail of the state. They “solicited” other states, finally agreeing to state in Washington where they were: “The strategy was successful, though there were lingering suspicions that Boeing never seriously considered leaving the Seattle area.”

Cabela’s and Bass Pro – “The company claims that a substantial share of shoppers come from long distances, creating jobs at hotels and restaurants (including those in the stores), and generating new sales tax revenues. Cabela’s uses this model to justify its extraordinary demands for subsidies from the localities where it sites its stores. It has been so successful in obtaining taxpayer funding that subsidies are an essential part of the company’s business plan. Cabela’s made this plain in the prospectus it issued when it became a publicly traded firm in 2004.” This little ploy netted them $500 million in taxpayer subsidies.

Dell – $262 million in tax concession from North Carolina; In Round Rock Texas, 20 years of no taxes, $50 million in tax-exempt industrial revenue bond financing, and 40 percent of sales tax revenues collected by Round Rock on Dell’s sales; In Nashville, Tennessee, free land for the site worth $6.5 million, 40 years of property tax abatements, $20 million in infrastructure improvements at the site funded by the city and state, one-time credits of $2,000 per employee against state franchise and excise taxes, Metro Nashville tax credits of $500 per employee for 40 years, industrial machinery state tax credits and $4,000 per employee to pay for job training costs. The Kicker: Three years after the deal, Dell announced they were eliminating all manufacturing operations at the facility. From a local newspaper: “It doesn’t take a disenfranchised anti-business character to believe that Dell Computer’s reneging on the spirit of its incentive deal with the city amounts to bad corporate citizenship, to put it charitably.”

Nordstrom (2005) (a designer apparel, shoe, handbag and beauty chain) – “In 1992 one developer told a reporter: ‘You pretty much have to guarantee that when [Nordstrom] open their doors for businesses, they will not have any money invested in the deal’.” Norfolk, Virginia had to take out a $32.8 million loan to pay for the construction of a store for Nordstrom. That loan, along with many more in other states, wereHUD loans; a federal agency designed to helplow-income families buy homes.

Sykes Enterprises (2005) (an outsourcing company) – Tens of millions of dollars in subsidies and direct payments from several states and towns, which, in many cases, resulted in the company pulling up and moving out when customer contracts expired.

Target – Several states have paid out a total in excess of $100 million and tens of millions more in tax concessions.

In additions to the individual corporations mentioned above, Good Jobs First has case studies on several industries.

General Electric’s CEO Jeff Immelt became very upset when a subsidy “entitlement” hadn’t arrived as soon as he wanted it to. The Obama Administration has promised $1.9 billion for a wind farm in Oregon, for which GE was going to supply the turbines. Immelt wrote a “shellacking” editorial in the Rupert Murdoch-owned Wall Street Journal, maybe the only newspaper that would have carried it for him. Here’s the real scary part: Immelt was just awarded the job as head of the Economic Advisory Board to President Obama, replacing Paul Volcker.

Still doing the same thing they were in 2002 and years before, the Export Import Bank is in the business of providing Corporate Subsidies. They guarantee loans made to foreign governments to purchase “American made” goods, but those loans go sour at times and the ExIm Bank pays off. Proponents of the bank insist that it saves American jobs. However, as the linked report above points out, those same companies are moving American jobs overseas at an astonishing rate.

American taxpayers are also in the business of subsidizing the making of rum in the Virgin Islands to the tune of $6 billion. To make matters worse, Diageo, a British-owned company, has moved in and is taking the lion’s share of these American Corporate Subsidies while greatly reducing the number of workers. This process is know as The Rum Excise Tax Cover-Over, which, in great part, is paying the rum-makers a larger profit for their goods.

In February of last year the Obama Administration handed out the second payment of a $54 billion loan to the Southern Company to build two nuclear power plants in Georgia. The commitment for the money was authorized by Congress in 2005. It is tagged as a “loan”; however there is a 50/50 chance of a default by the Southern Company.

Corporate Subsidies

When Corporate Subsidies are extracted from Tax Expenditures, it represents at least$100 billion of the federal budget each year. That is a direct payout to corporations using taxpayer money.

Links to Other Studies and Reports

The CATO Institute has many case studies and papers (linked below) on Corporate Subsidies and other subsidies. However, there have been several cases where the CATO Institute’s reports appear to be self-serving in that they are not necessarily advocating an end to certain Corporate Subsidies in the name of reducing net cost to taxpayers. In some cases they simply want to transfer the savings to wealthy individuals in the form of less taxes for them.

The Corporate Welfare Information Center appears to be a very old website with most of their references dating back to the 1990’s. However, they have dozens of links on Corporate Subsidies as well as other kinds of subsidies.

As an environmentalist, I feel very frustrated and disappointed with how the current debate has become bogged down in political disagreements over Cap & Trade.

The basic idea behind Cap & Trade is to provide a market based solution to the problem of how to reduce industrial pollution, such as CO2 emissions. The government sets a cap on how much CO2 can be emitted in accordance with agreed targets. Companies are then allocated or must purchase credits to emit an amount of CO2 up to the cap. If a company needs to emit more CO2 than the cap, it must purchase credits from other companies that emitted a lower level and can sell their excess credits. In this way, credits can be traded, emissions can be regulated, violators can be fined, and the cap can be lowered over time in line with future targets. This provides a market mechanism by which companies can find “the least cost” solution to the problem of how to reduce pollution.

What’s wrong with it?

CO2 is a global pollutant. Emissions of a global pollutant have global consequences, while each country has different verification and enforcement policies. Corruption and problems with monitoring, reporting, and enforcement can penalise the industries of those countries that meet their targets, to the advantage of those of countries that don’t meet targets and simply lie about having done so.

Even if we overlook these problems, the trading in offsets may well reduce emissions from some sources of CO2 and increase the cost of emitting CO2 from others, but it does not reduce the total amount of CO2 in the atmosphere. If it does not deal with this problem, we still face the possibility of a runaway Greenhouse Effect, and all of its devastating consequences for life on Earth.

The lowering of the total amount of CO2 pumped into the atmosphere requires international agreements, such as the 1997 Kyoto Protocol, and their ratification by all nations, including the USA. However, industrial countries such as the USA are concerned that they will be unfairly handicapped in economic competition with developing nations such as India and China. While this may well be a means of reducing the gap between developed and developing countries, effectively acting as a mechanism of “redistribution”, it actually will increase the total amount of CO2 in the atmosphere.

The problem with the caps approach is that it only looks at the problem in terms of production, while, given the global nature of markets, this does not address the problem in terms of consumption.

What’s the alternative?

Instead of merely increasing the cost of doing business as usual, we need to change how we live on this planet and learn how to live in a sustainable way. This involves a radical change in the economic paradigm. We need to stop measuring growth and development in terms of easily quantified factors such as GDP, and instead measure growth and development in terms of how people evaluate the QUALITY of their lives in their local communities. We need to put people and the world before profits.

There are straightforward changes we can all make. We can consume less. We can waste less. We can learn how to fix things rather than buy new replacements. If the people of the USA and European Union reduced our level of consumption of imported products, this would indirectly reduce the CO2 emissions of China and India. We need to support our local economies. This would reduce the amount of oil required and CO2 emitted just to transport products around the world. This would also keep wealth and jobs within our communities. We need to put pressure on politicians to implement effective environmental policies. Local governments can fund better public transport and recycling facilities, and provide grants for loft insulation, better building materials, and solar power cells for grid-tied systems. Local governments can reduce the tax burden on local businesses to help them compete. They can reward recycling through tax credits, and penalize consumption through increased sales taxes on targeted products. National government can help by increasing the public funding of research and development into new sustainable energy production technologies. They can impose increased efficiency standards for new power plants, cars, and appliances, while placing tariffs on imported products from countries that fail to reduce their CO2 emissions or fail to meet these standards. There are lots of things that could be done other than Cap & Trade.

Nature has already provided us with a means to remove CO2 from the atmosphere. We call them trees. What are needed are international efforts to reforest the world and to protect the remaining rain forests. But we don’t need to wait for governments to act. Consume less. Save your money. Plant a tree today!

“A great industrial nation is controlled by it’s system of credit. Our system of credit is concentrated in the hands of a few men. We have come to be one of the worst ruled, one of the most completely controlled and dominated governments in the world—no longer a government of free opinion, no longer a government by conviction and vote of the majority, but a government by the opinion and duress of small groups of dominant men.”

The founding fathers knew the evils of a privately owned central bank.

They watched from our shores how the privately owned Bank of England ran the debt of that country up so high that Parliament was forced to levy taxes on the American colonies.

Like, big brother goes on a spending spree with borrowed money and little bro has to bust his butt to pay it off. Not fair. Sure way to piss someone off…

Thomas Jefferson said:

“I sincerely believe that banking institutions are more dangerous to our liberties than standing armies. The issuing power should be taken from the banks and restored to the people to whom it properly belongs.”

The United States was created to avoid exactly what we are now ensnared by. We didn’t get the message – the Constitution and the entire framework of the country was designed to avoid the very same trap that engulfed England.

It’s Benjamin Franklin’s claim that taxation was the cause of the American Revolution.

Well, we won that battle in 1776 and some thought that it was all over after that, but war isn’t over. It’s been raging since day one of the United States and right now, “We The People” are losing.

Right now, the score is Central Bankers 100 – United States and Citizens 1.

This encounter is in its final decisive episode and the seemingly invincible adversary is approaching for the final blow. And most of us have no clue that there’s anything going on.

James Madison, one of the major players in the drafting of the U.S. Constitution, agreed with Jefferson. His statement was:

“History records that the money changers have used every form of abuse, intrigue, deceit and violent means possible to maintain their control over the governments by controlling money and its issuance.”

And that was in the 1700s. History since then has not altered the behavior patterns of the bankers one bit.

The battle over who gets to issue our money has been the pivotal issue throughout the history of the United States. A key to the solution of the bulk our problems as a nation and on the planet is to confront and implement the phrase uttered by Thomas Jefferson:

“The issuing power (of the nations money) should be taken from the banks and restored to the people to whom it properly belongs.”

This is a very simple statement but it’s easier said than done. I bring this up only because the consequence of not doing it, simply stated, is enslavement.

If you like enslavement, don’t do anything. If you do – and realize that some do – do nothing – keep keepin’ on, just like you’re doing now. Tune out this blog and tune back into your TV set and your iPod.

For those who realize that slavery isn’t very fun, think with this:

The “moneychangers,” (the banking cartel) run things. If they were sane, we wouldn’t have a problem. They aren’t. They are the small minority (2 ½%) that cause the misery we see – yes, all of it. I know that broad statement will require some proof. But that proof exists.

Here’s a little taste of that proof - A newspaper article from the London Times in President Lincoln’s day said this:

“If this mischievous financial policy which has its origin in North America shall become endurated down to a fixture, then that Government will furnish it’s own money without cost. It will pay off its debts and be without debt. It will have all the currency necessary to carry on its commerce. It will become prosperous without precedent in the history of the world. The brains, and wealth of all countries will go to North America. That country must be destroyed or it will destroy every monarch on the globe.”

That sums it up.

If “We The People,” the citizens of this country do what Jefferson said, we are back in control. If we don’t, we can only expect to reap the full consequence under the control of true madmen.

Those consequences equal genocide, to put it bluntly. If you think I speak harshly, do your homework. I am really treading lightly on a stark truth.

I don’t have all the answers, but I have a few good ones.

It’s an excellent documentary called ” The Money Masters.” It’s a full length movie, so grab some popcorn and settle in for a real education in what freedom is all about.

An Address By Beria

American students at the Lenin University, I welcome your
attendance at these classes on Psychopolitics.

Psychopolitics is an important if less known division of Geopolitics.
It is less known because it must necessarily deal with highly educated
personnel, the very top strata of “mental healing.”

By psychopolitics our chief goals are effectively carried forward. To
produce a maximum of chaos in the culture of the enemy is our first most
important step. Our fruits are gown in chaos, distrust, economic
depression, and scientific turmoil. Ac last a weary populace can seek
peace only in our offered Communist State, at last only communism can
resolve the problems of the masses.

A psychopolitician must work hard to produce the maximum chaos in the
fields of “mental healing.” He must recruit and use all the agencies and
facilities of “mental healing.” He must labor to increase the personnel
and facilities of “mental healing” until at last the entire field of
mental science is entirely dominated by Communist principles and
desires.

To achieve these goals the psychopolitician must crush every
“homegrown” variety of mental healing in America. Actual teachings of
James, Eddy, and Pentecostal Bible faith healers amongst your misguided
people must be swept aside. They must be discredited, defamed,
arrested, stamped upon even by their own government until there is no
credit in them and only Communist-oriented “healing” remains. You must
work until every teacher of psychology unknowingly or knowingly teaches
only Communist doctrine under the guise of “psychology.” You must labor
until every doctor and psychiatrist is either a psycho-politician or an
unwitting assistant to our aims.

You must labor until we have dominion over the minds and bodies of
every important person in your nation. You must achieve such disrepute
for the state of insanity and such authority over its pronouncement that
not one statesman so labeled could again be given credence by his
people. You must work until suicide arising from mental imbalance is
common and calls forth no general investigation or remark.

With the institutions for the insane you have in your country prisons
that can hold a million persons and can hold them without civil rights
or any hope of freedom. And upon these people can be practiced shock
and surgery so that never again will they draw a sane breath. You must
make these treatments common and accepted. And you must sweep aside any
treatment or any group of persons seeking to treat by effective means.

You must dominate as respected men in the fields of psychiatry and
psychology. You must dominate the hospitals and universities. You must
carry forward the myth that only a European doctor is competent in the
field of insanity and thus excuse amongst you the high incidence of
foreign birth and training. If and when we seize Vienna you shall then
have a common ground of meeting and can come and take your instructions
as worshipers of Freud along with other psychiatrists.

Psychopolitics is a solemn charge. With it you can erase our enemies
as insects. You can cripple the efficiency of leaders by striking
insanity into their Families through the use of drugs. You can wipe
them away with testimony as to their insanity. By our technologies you
can even bring about insanity itself when the people seem too resistive.

You can change their loyalties by psychopolitics. Given a short time
with a psychopolitician you can alter forever the loyalty of a soldier
fallen into our hands or a statesman or a leader in his own country, or
you can destroy his mind.

However, you labor under certain dangers. It may happen that remedies
for our “treatments” may be discovered. It may occur that a public hue
and cry may arise against “mental healing.” It may thus occur that all
mental healing might be placed in the hands of ministers and be taken
out of the hands of our psychologists and psychiatrists. But the
Capitalistic thirst for control, Capitalistic inhumanity, and a general
public terror of insanity can be brought to guard against these things.
But should they occur, should independent researchers actually discover
means to undo psychopolitical procedures, you must not rest, you must
not eat or sleep, you must not stint one tiniest bit of available money
to campaign against it, discredit it, strike it down and render it void.
For by an effective means our actions and researches could be undone.

In a Capitalistic state you are aided on all sides by the corruption
of the philosophy of man and the times. You will discover that
everything will aid you in your campaign to seize control, and use all
“mental healing” to spread our doctrine and rid us of our enemies within
their own borders.

Use the courts, use the judges, use the Constitution of the country,
use its medical societies and its laws to further our ends. Do not
stint in your labor in this direction. And when you have succeeded you
will discover that you can now effect your own legislation at will and
you can, by careful organization of healing societies, by constant
campaigns about the terrors of society, by pretense as to your
effectiveness make your Capitalist himself, by his own appropriations,
finance a large portion of the quiet Communist conquest of the nation.

CHAPTER I: The History and Definition of Psychopolitics

Although punishment for its own sake may not be entirely without recompense, it is nevertheless true that the end and goal of all punishment is the indoctrination of the person being punished with an idea, whether that idea be one of restraint or obedience.

In that any ruler has, from time beyond memory, needed the obedience of his subjects in order to accomplish his ends, he has thus resorted to punishment. This is true of every tribe and state in the history of Man. Today, Russian culture has evolved more certain and definite methods of aligning and securing the loyalties of persons and populaces, and of enforcing obedience upon them. This modern outgrowth of an old practice is called Psychopolitics.

The stupidity and narrowness of nations not blessed with Russian reasoning has caused them to rely upon practices which are, today, too ancient and outmoded for the rapid and heroic pace of our time. And in view of the tremendous advance of Russian culture in the field of mental technologies, begun with the glorious work of Pavlov and carried forward
so ably by later Russians, it would be strange that an art and science
would not evolve totally devoted to the aligning of loyalties and
extracting the obedience of individuals and multitudes.

Thus we see that psychopolitical procedures are a natural outgrowth of
practices as old as Man, practices that are current in every group of
men throughout the world. Thus, in psychopolitical procedures there is
no ethical problem since it is obvious and evident that man is always
coerced against his will to the greater good of the State, whether by
economic gains or indoctrination into the wishes and desires of the
State.

Basically, man is an animal. He is an animal that has been given a
civilized veneer. Man is a collective animal grouped together for his
own protection before the threat of the environment. Those who so group
and control him must then have in their possession specialized
techniques to direct the vagaries and energies of the animal man toward
greater efficiency in the accomplishment of the goals of the State.

Psychopolitics, in one form or another, has long been used in Russia,
but the subject is all but unknown outside the borders of our nation,
save only where it is used for the greater good of the nation.

The definition of Psychopolitics follows.

Psychopolitics is the art and science of asserting and maintaining
dominion over the thoughts and loyalties of individuals, officers,
bureaus, and masses and the effecting of the conquest of enemy nations
through “mental healing.”

The subject of Psychopolitics breaks down into several categories,
each a natural and logical progression from the last. Its first subject
is the constitution and anatomy of man, himself, as a political
organism. The next is an examination of man as an economic organism, as
this might be controlled by his desires. The next is classification of
State goals for the individual and masses. The next is an examination
of loyalties. The next is the general subject of obedience. The next
is the anatomy of the stimulus-response mechanisms of man. The next is
the subject of shock and endurance. The next is categories of
experience. The next is the catalyzing and aligning of experience. The
next is the use of drugs. The next is the use of implantation. The
next is the general application of Psychopolitics within Russia. The
next is the organization and use of counter-Psychopolitics. The next is
the use of Psychopolitics in the conquest of foreign nations. The next
is psychopolitical organizations outside Russia, their composition and
activity. The next is the creation of slave philosophy in a hostile
nation. The next is countering anti-psychopolitical activities abroad,
and the final one, the destiny of psychopolitical rule in a scientific
age. To this might be added many subcategories, such as the
nullification of modern weapons by psychopolitical activity.

The strength and power of Psychopolitics cannot be overestimated,
particularly when used in a nation decayed by pseudo-intellectualism,
where exploitation of the masses combines readily with psychopolitical
actions, and particularly where the greed of Capitalistic or Monarchial
regimes has already brought about an overwhelming incidence of neurosis
which can be employed as the groundwork for psychopolitical action and a
psychopolitical corps.

It is part of your mission, student, to prevent psychopolitical
activity to the detriment of the Russian State, just as it is your
mission to carry forward in our nation and outside it, if you are so
assigned, the missions and goals of Psychopolitics. No agent of Russia
could be even remotely effective without a thorough grounding in
Psychopolitics, and so you carry forward with you a Russian trust to use
well what you are learning here.

CHAPTER II: The Constitution of Man as a Political Organism

Man is already a colonial aggregation of cells, and to consider him an
individual would be an error. Colonies of cells have gathered together
as one organ or another of the body, and then these organs have,
themselves, gathered together to form the whole. Thus we see that man,
himself, is already a political organism, even if we do not consider a
mass of men.

Sickness could be considered to be a disloyalty to the remaining
organisms on the part on one organism. This disloyalty, becoming
apparent, brings about a revolt of some part of the anatomy against the
remaining whole, and thus we have, in effect, an internal revolution.
The heart, becoming disaffected, falls away from close membership and
service to the remainder of the organism, and we discover the entire
body in all of its activities is disrupted because of the revolutionary
activity of the heart. The heart is in revolt because it cannot or will
not cooperate with the remainder of the body. If we permit the heart
thus to revolt, the kidneys, taking the example of the heart, may in
their turn rebel and cease to work for the good of the organism. This
rebellion, spreading to other organs and the glandular system, brings
about the death of the “individual.” We can see with ease that the
revolt is death, that the revolt of any part of the organism results in
death. Thus we see that there can be no compromise with rebellion.

Like the “individual” man, the State is a collection of aggregations.
The political entities within the State must, all of them, cooperate for
the greater good of the State lest the State itself fall asunder and
die, for with the disaffection of any single entity through distrust we
discover, at length, the entire State falling. This is the danger of
revolution.

Look at Earth. We see here one entire organism. The organism of
Earth is an individual organism. Earth has as its organs the various
races and nations of men. Where one of these is permitted to remain
disaffected, Earth itself is threatened with death. The threatened
rebellion of one country, no matter how small, against the total
organism of Earth, would find Earth sick, and the cultural state of man
would suer in consequence. Thus, the putrescent illness of Capitalist
States, spreading their pus and bacteria into the healthy countries of
the world could not do otherwise than bring about the death of Earth,
unless these ill organisms are brought into loyalty and obedience and
made to function for the greater good of the worldwide State.

The constitution of Man is such that the individual cannot function
efficiently without the alignment of each and every part and organ of
his anatomy. As the average individual is incapable, in an uninformed
and uncultured state, as witness the barbarians of the jungle, so must
he be trained into a coordination of his organic functions by exercise,
education, and work toward specific goals. We particularly and
specifically note that the individual must be directed from without to
accomplish his exercise, education, and work. He must be made to
realize the need for this, for only then can he be made to function
efficiently in the role assigned to him.

The tenets of rugged individualism, personal determinism, self-will,
imagination, and personal creativeness held by the masses are equally
antipathetic to the good of the Greater State. These willful and
unaligned forces are no more than illnesses which will bring about
disaffection, disunity, and at length the collapse of the group to which
the individual is attached.

The constitution of Man lends itself easily and thoroughly to certain
and positive regulation from without of all of its functions, including
those of thinking, obedience, and loyalty, and these things must be
controlled if a greater State is to ensue.

While it may seem desirable to the surgeon to amputate one or another
limb or organ in order to save the remainder, it must be pointed out
that this expediency is not entirely possible of accomplishment when one
considers entire nations. A body deprived of organs can be observed to
be lessened in its effectiveness. The world deprived of the workers now
enslaved by the insane and nonsensical idiocies of the Capitalists and
Monarchs of Earth would, if removed, create a certain disability in the
worldwide State. Just as we see the victor forced to rehabilitate the
population of a conquered country at the end of a war, any effort to
depopulate a disaffected portion of the world might have some
consequence. However, let us consider the inroad of virus and bacteria
hostile to the organism, and we see that unless we can conquer the germ,
the organ or organism which it is attacking will itself suffer.

In any State we have certain individuals who operate in the role of
the virus and germ, and these, attacking the population or any group
within the population, produce, by their self-willed greed, a sickness
in the organ, which then generally spreads to the whole.

The constitution of Man as an individual body, or the constitution of
a State or a portion of the State as a political organism are analogous.
It is the mission of Psychopolitics first to align the obedience and
goals of the group, and then maintain their alignment by the eradication
of the effectiveness of the persons and personalities that might swerve
the group toward disaffection. In our own nation, where things are
better managed and where reason reigns above all else, it is not
difficult to eradicate the self-willed bacteria that might attack one of
our political entities. But in the field of conquest, in nations less
enlightened, where the Russian State does not yet have power, it is not
as feasible to remove the entire self-willed individual. Psychopolitics
makes it possible to remove that part of his personality which, in
itself, is playing havoc with the person’s own constitution as well as
the group with which the person is connected.

If the animal man were permitted to continue undisturbed by counter-
revolutionary propaganda, if he were left to work under the well-planned
management of the State, we would discover no sickness in the Stare.
But where the individual is troubled by conflicting propaganda, where he
is made the effect of revolutionary activities, where he is permitted to
think thoughts critical of the State itself, where he is permitted to
question those under whose natural charge he falls, we discover his
constitution to suffer. We would also discover, from this disaffection,
the disaffection of his heart and of other portions of his anatomy. So
consistent is this principle that when one finds a sick individual,
could one search deeply enough, he would discover a misaligned loyalty
and an interrupted obedience to that person’s group unit.

There are those who foolishly have embarked upon some spiritual Alice-
in-Wonderland voyage into what they call the “subconscious” or the
“unconscious” mind, and who under the guise of “psychotherapy” would
seek to make well the disaffection of body organs, but it is to be noted
that their results are singularly lacking in success. There is no
strength in such an approach. When hypnotism was first invented in
Russia, it was observed that all that was necessary was to command the
unresisting individual to be well in order, many times, to accomplish
that fact. The limitation of hypnotism was that many subjects were not
susceptible to its uses, and thus hypnotism has had to be improved upon
in order to increase the suggestibility of individuals who would not
otherwise be reached. Thus, any nation can experience growing well
again, as a whole organism, only by placing sufficient Force in play
against a disaffected group. Just as in hypnotism any organ can be
commanded into greater loyalty and obedience, so can any political group
be commanded into greater loyalty and obedience should sufficient force
be employed. However, force often brings about destruction and it is
occasionally not feasible to use broad mass force to accomplish the ends
in view. Thus, it is necessary to align the individual against his
desire not to conform.

Just as it is a recognized truth that Man must conform to his
environment, so it is a recognized truth, and will become more so as the
years proceed, that even the body of Man can be commanded into health.

The constitution of Man renders itself peculiarly adapted to re-
alignment of loyalties. Where these loyalties are indigestible to the
constitution of the individual itself, such as loyalties to the ‘petit
bourgeoisie,’ the Capitalist, to anti-Russian ideas, we find the
individual body peculiarly susceptible to sickness, and thus we can
clearly understand the epidemics, illnesses, mass-neuroses, tumults, and
confusions of the United States and other capitalist countries. Here we
find the worker improperly and incorrectly loyal, and thus we find the
worker ill. To save him and establish him correctly and properly upon
his goal toward a greater State, it is an overpowering necessity to make
it possible for him to grant his loyalties in a correct diction. In
that his loyalties are swerved and his obedience cravenly demanded by
persons antipathetic to his general good, and in that chest persons are
few, even in a Capitalist nation, the goal and direction of
Psychopolitics is clearly understood. lo benefit the worker in such a
plight, it is necessary to eradicate, by general propaganda, by other
means, and by his own co-operation, the self-willedness of perverted
leaders. It is necessary, as well, to indoctrinate the educated strata
into the tenets and principles of cooperation with the environment, and
thus to insure to the worker less warped leadership, less craven
doctrine, and more cooperation with the ideas and ideals of the
Communist State.

CHAPTER III: Man as an Economic Organism

Man is subject to certain desires and needs that are as natural to his
beingness as they are to that of any other animal. Man, however, has a
propensity to exaggerate some of these beyond the bounds of reason.
This is obvious through the growth of leisure classes, pseudo-
intellectual groups, the ‘petit bourgeoisie,’ Capitalism, and other
ills.

It has been said, with truth, that one-tenth of a man’s life is
concerned with politics and nine-tenths with economics. Without food,
the individual dies. Without clothing, he freezes. Without houses and
weapons, he is prey to the starving wolves. The acquisition of
sufficient items to answer these necessities of food, clothing, and
shelter, in reason, is the natural right of a member of an enlightened
State. An excess of such items brings about unrest and disquiet. The
presence of luxury items and materials, and the artificial creation and
whetting of appetites, as in Capitalist advertising, are certain to
accentuate the less desirable characteristics of Man.

The individual is an economic organism, in that he requires a certain
amount of food, a certain amount of water, and he must hold within
himself a certain amount of heat in order to live. When he has more
food than he can eat, more clothing than he needs to protect him, he
then enters upon a certain idleness, which dulls his wits and awareness
and makes him prey to difficulties which, in a less toxic state, he
would have Foreseen and avoided. Thus, a glut that is a menace to the
individual. It is no less different in a group. Where the group
acquires too much, its awareness of its own fellows and of the
environment is accordingly reduced, and the effectiveness of the group
in general is lost. The maintaining of a balance between gluttony and
need is the province of Economics proper, and is the fit subject and
concern of the Communist State.

Desire and want are a state of mind. Individuals can be educated into
desiring and wanting more than they can ever possibly obtain, and such
individuals are unhappy. Most of the self-willed characteristics of the
Capitalists come entirely from greed. They exploit the worker far
beyond their own need as Capitalists.

In a nation where economic balances are not controlled, the appetite
of the individual is unduly whetted by enchanting and fanciful
persuasions to desire, and a type of insanity ensues, whereby each
individual is persuaded to possess more than he can use, and to possess
it even at the expense of his fellows.

There is, in economic balances, the other side. Too great and too
long endured privation can bring about unhealthy desires, which, if
allowed to be gratified, lead to the accumulation of more than the
individual can use. Poverty, itself, as carefully cultivated in
Capitalist States, can bring about an imbalance of acquisition. Just as
a vacuum will pull into it masses, in a country where enforced privation
is the lot of the masses, and where desire is artificially whetted, need
turns to greed, and one easily discovers in such states exploitation of
the many for the benefit of the few.

If by the technologies of Psychopolitics one were to dull this
excessive greed in the few workers who possess it, they would be freed
to seek a more natural balance.

Here we have two extremes. Either one of them is an insanity. If we
wish to create an insanity we need only glut or deprive an individual
beyond his ability to tolerate the extremes and we have a mental
imbalance. A simple example of this is the alternation of too low with
too high pressures in a chamber, an excellent psychopolitical procedure.
The rapidly varied pressure brings about a chaos wherein the individual
will cannot act and where other wills then, perforce, assume control.

Essentially, in an entire country, one must remove the greedy by
whatever means and must then create and sustain a semi-privation in the
masses in order to command and utterly control the nation.

A continuous hope for prosperity must be indoctrinated into the masses
with many dreams and visions of glut of commodity, and this hope must be
counter-played against the actuality of privation and the continuous
threat of loss of all economic factors in case of disloyalty to the
State in order to suppress the individual wills of the masses.

In a nation under conquest such as America, our slow and stealthy
approach need only take advantage of the cycles of booms and depressions
inherent in Capitalistic nations in order to assert increasingly strong
control over individual wills. A boom is as advantageous as a
depression for our ends for during prosperity our propaganda lines must
only continue to point up the wealth the period is delivering to the
selected few in order to weaken their control of the state. During a
depression one must only point out that it came about as a result of the
avarice of a few and the general political incompetence of the national
leaders.

The handling of economic propaganda is not properly the sphere of
psychopolitics but the psychopolitician must understand economic
measures and the Communist goals connected with them.

The masses must at last come to believe that only excessive taxation
of the rich can relieve them of the “burdensome leisure class” and can
thus be brought to accept such a thing as an income tax, a Marxist
principle smoothly slid into the Capitalistic framework in 1909 in the
United States. This even though the basic law of the United States
forbade it and even though communism at that time had been active only a
few years in America. So successful was the income tax law, that had it
been followed thoroughly, it could have brought the United States and
not Russia into the world scene as the first Communist nation. But the
virility and good sense of the Russian peoples won. It may be that the
United States will not become entirely communist until past the middle
of the century, but when it does it will be because of our superior
understanding of economics and of psychopolitics.

The Communist agent skilled in economics has as his task the suborning
of tax agencies and their personnel to create the maximum disturbance
and chaos and the passing of laws adapted to our purposes; and to him we
must leave this task. The psychopolitical operator plays a distinctly
different role in this drama.

The rich, the skilled in finance, the well informed in government are
particular and individual targets for the psychopolitician. His is the
role of taking off the board those individuals who would halt or corrupt
Communist economic programs. Thus every rich man, every statesman,
every person well informed and capable in government must have brought
to his side as a trusted confidant a psychopolitical operator.

The families of these persons are often deranged from idleness and
glut and this fact must be played upon, even created. The normal health
and wildness of a rich man’s son must be twisted and perverted and
explained as neurosis and then, assisted by a timely administration of
drugs or violence, turned into criminality or insanity. This brings at
once someone in “mental healing” who could then by his advice or through
the medium of wife or daughter, guided by his opinions, direct the
optimum policy to embroil or upset the economic policies of the country
and, when the time comes to do away forever with the rich or influential
man, to administer the proper drug or treatment to bring about his
complete demise in an institution as a patient or dead as a suicide.

Planted beside a country’s powerful persons the psychopolitical
operator can also guide other policies to the betterment of our battle.

The Capitalist does not know the definition of war. He thinks of war
as attack with force performed by soldiers and machines. He does not
know that a more effective if somewhat longer war can be fought with
bread or, in our case, with drugs and the wisdom of our art. In truth,
the Capitalist has never won a war. The psychopolitician is having
little trouble winning this one.

CHAPTER IV: State Goals for the Individual and the Masses

Just as we would consider an individual to be ill, whose organs, each
one, had a different goal from the rest, so we consider the individuals
and the State to be ill where goals are not rigorously codified and
enforced.

There are those who, in less enlightened times, gave Man to believe
that pals should be personally sought and held, and that, indeed, Mans
entire impulse toward higher things stemmed from Freedom. We must
remember that the same peoples who embraced this philosophy also
continued in Man the myth of spiritual existence.

All goals proceed from duress. Life is a continuous escape from pain.
Without the threat of punishment there can be no gain. Without duress
and command there can be no alignment of bodily functions. Without
rigorous and forthright control, the State can achieve no goals.

Goals of the State should be formulated by the State for the obedience
and concurrence of the individuals within that State. A State without
goals so formulated is a sick State. A State without the power and
forthright wish to enforce its goals is a sick State.

When an order is issued by the Communist State, and it is not obeyed,
a sickness will ensue. Where obedience fails, the masses suffer.

State goals depend upon loyalty and obedience for their
accomplishment. When one discovers a State goal to be interrupted, one
discovers inevitably that there has been an interposition of self-
willedness, of greed, of idleness, or of rugged individualism and self-
centered initiative. ‘I he interruption of a State goal will be
discovered to have been the work of a person whose disloyalty and
disobedience is the direct result of his own misalignment with life.

It is not always necessary to remove the individual. It is possible
to remove his self-willed tendencies in order to effect an improvement
in the goals and gains of the whole. The technologies of Psychopolitics
are graduated upon a scale that starts somewhat above the removal of the
individual himself, concerning itself first with the removal of those
tendencies that bring about his lack of cooperation.

It is not enough for the State to have goals. These goals, once put
Forward, depend for their completion upon the loyalty and obedience of
the workers. These, engaged for the most part in hard labors, have
little time for idle speculation, which is good. But, above them,
unfortunately, there must be foremen in one or another position, any one
of whom might be sufficiently idle and lacking in physical occupation to
cause some disaffecting independence in his conduct and behavior.
Psychopolitics remedies this tendency toward disaffection when it
supplants and overrides the common persuasions of the immediate
superiors of the person in question.

CHAPTER V: An Examination of Loyalties

If loyalty is so important in the economic and social structure, it is
n to examine it further in and of itself.

In the field of Psychopolitics, loyalty means simply “alignment.” It
means, more fully, alignment with the goals of the Communist State.
Disloyalty means misalignment, and more broadly, misalignment with the
goals of the Communist State.

When we consider that the goals of the Communist State are to the best
possible benefit of the masses, we can see that disloyalty, as a term,
can induce Democratic alignment. Loyalty to persons not communistically
indoctrinated would be quite plainly a misalignment.

The cure for disloyalty is contained within the principles of
alignment. All that it is necessary to do, where disloyalty is
encountered, is to align the p of the individual toward the goals of
communism, and it l be discovered that a great many circumstances
hitherto distasteful in his existence will cease to exist.

A heart or a kidney in rebellion against the remainder of the organism
could be seen as being disloyal to the remainder of the organism. To
cure that heart or kidney it is actually only necessary to bong its
activities into alignment with the remainder at the body.

The technology of Psychopolitics adequately demonstrates the
workability of this. Mild shock of the electric variety can, and does,
produce the recooperation of a rebellious body organ. It is the shock
and punishment of surgery which, in the main, accomplishes the
realignment of a disaffected portion of the body, rather than the
surgery itself; lt is the bombardment of x rays, rather than the
therapeutic value of x rays that causes some disaffected organs to once
again turn their attention to the support of the general organism.

While it is not proven that electric shock has any therapeutic value,
so far as making the individual more sane, it is adequately proven that
its punishment value will create in the patient a more cooperative
attitude. Brain surgery has no statistical data to recommend it beyond
its removal of the individual personality from amongst the paths of
organs that were not permitted to cooperate. These two Russian
developments have never pretended to alter the state of sanity. They
are effective and workable only in introducing an adequate punishment
mechanism to the personality to make it cease and desist from its course
and its egotistical control of the anatomy itself. It is the violence
of the electric shock and the surgery that is useful in subduing the
recalcitrant personality, which is all that stands in the road of the
masses or the State. It is occasionally to be discovered that the
removal of the negative personality by shock and surgery then permits
the regrowth and reestablishment of organs that have been misdirected by
that personality. In that a well-regulated state is composed of
organisms, not personalities, the need’ for electric shock and brain
surgery in Psychopolitics is clearly demonstrated.

The changing of loyalty consists, in its primary step, of the
eradication of existing loyalties. This can be done in one of two ways.
First, hy demonstrating that previously existing loyalties have brought
about perilous physical circumstances, such as imprisonment, lack of
recognition, duress, or privation, and second, by eradicating the
personality itself.

The first is accomplished by a steady and continuous indoctrination of
the individual in the belief that his previous loyalties have been
wasted on an unworthy source. One of the primary instances of this is
creating circumstances that apparently derive from the target of his
loyalties, so as to rebuff the individual. Part of this is the creation
of a state of mind in the individual, by actually placing him under
duress, and then furnishing him with false evidence to demonstrate that
the target of his previous loyalties is, itself, the cause of the
duress. Another portion of this same method consists of defaming or
degrading the individual whose loyalties are to be changed to the target
of his loyalties, i.e., his superiors or government, to such a degree
that this target, at length, actually does hold the individual in
disrepute, and so does rebuff him and serve to convince him that his
loyalties have been misplaced. These are the milder methods, but have
proven extremely effective. The greatest drawback in their practice is
that they require study and concentration, the manufacture of false
evidence, and a psychopolitical operator’s time.

In moments of expediency, of which there are many, the personality
itself can be rearranged by shock, surgery, duress, privation, and in
particular, that best of psychopolitical techniques, implantation, using
the technologies of neo-hypnotism. Such duress must have in its first
phase a defamation of the loyalties, and in its second, the implantation
of new loyalties. A good and experienced psychopolitical operator,
working under the most favorable circumstances, can, by the use of
psychopolitical technologies, alter the loyalties of an individual so
deftly that his own companions will not suspect that they have changed.
This, however, requires considerably more finesse than is usually
required by the situation. Mass neo-hypnotism can accomplish more or
less the same results when guided by an experienced psychopolitical
operator. An end goal m such a procedure would be the alteration of the
loyalties of an entire nation in a short period of time by mass neo-
hypnotism, a thing that has been effectively accomplished among the less
usable states of Russia.

It is obvious that loyalty is entirely lacking in that mythical
commodity known as “spiritual quality. Loyalty is entirely a thing of
dependence, economic or mental, and can be changed by the crudest
implementations. Observation of workers in their factories or fields
demonstrates that they easily grant loyalty to a foreman or a woman, and
then as easily abandon it and substitute another individual, shunning
the person to whom loyalty was first granted. The queasy insecurity of
the masses in Capitalistic nations accounts for this condition’s being
more common in those states than it is in an enlightened State such as
Russia. In Capitalistic states, dependencies are so craven, wants and
privations are so exaggerated, that loyalty is entirely without ethical
foundation and exists only in the realm of dependency, duress, or
demand.

It is fortunate that communism so truly approaches an ideal state of
mind, for this brings a certain easiness into any changing of loyalties,
since all other philosophies extant and practiced on Earth today are
degraded and debased, compared to communism. It is then with a certain
security that a psychopolitical operator functions, for he knows that he
can change the loyalty of an individual to a more ideal level by reason
alone, and only expediency makes it necessary to employ the various
shifts of psychopolitical technology. Any man who cannot be persuaded
into .Communist rationale is, of course, to be regarded as somewhat less
than sane, and we are, therefore completely justified in our use of the
techniques of insanity upon the non-Communist.

In order to change loyalties it is first necessary to identify the
existing loyalties of the individual. The task is made very simple in
view of the fact that Capitalistic and Fascistic nations have no great
security in the loyalty of their subjects. And it may be found that the
loyalties of the subjects, as we call any persons against whom
psychopolitical technology is to be exerted, are already too faint to
require eradication. It is generally only necessary to persuade with
the rationale and overwhelming reasonability of communism to have the
person grant his loyalty to the Russian State. However, guided only by
the importance of the subject, no excessive amount of time should be
expended upon the individual before resorting to emotional duress,
electric shock, or brain surgery; should Communist propaganda persuasion
fail. In the case of a very important person, it may be necessary to
utilize the more delicate technologies of Psychopolitics so as to keep
the person himself, and his associates, ignorant of the operation. In
this case a simple implantation is used, with a maximum duress and
command value. Only the most skilled psychopolitical operator should be
employed on the case of a very important person, for any bungling might
reveal the tampering with his mental processes. It is highly
recommended, if there is any doubt whatever about the success of an
operation against an important person, to select as a psychopolitical
target persons in his vicinity with whom he is emotionally involved.
His wife or children normally furnish the best targets, and these can be
operated against without restraint. In securing the loyalty of a very
important person one must place at his side a constant pleader who
introduces a sexual or familial chord into the situation on the side of
communism. It may not be necessary to make a Communist out of the wife,
or the children, or one of the children, but it might prove efficacious
to do so. In most instances, however, this is not possible. By the use
of various drugs, it is, in this modern age, and well within the realm
of psychopolitical reality, entirely too easy to bring about a state of
severe neurosis or insanity in the wife or children, and thus pass them,
with the full consent of the important person, and the government in
which he exists, or the bureau in which he is operating, into the hands
of a psychopolitical operator, who then in his own laboratory, without
restraint or fear of investigation or censure, can, with electric shock,
surgery, sexual attack, drugs, or other useful means, degrade or
entirely alter the personality of a family member, and create in that
person a psychopolitical slave subject who, then, on command or signal,
will perform outrageous actions, thus discrediting the important person,
or will demand, on a more delicate level, that certain measures be taken
by the important person which measures are, of course, dictated by the
psychopolitical operator.

Usually when the Party has no real interest in the activities or
decisions of the important person, but merely wishes to remove him from
effective action, the attention of the psychopolitical operator need not
be so intense, and the person need only be passed into the hands of some
unwitting mental practitioner who, taught as he is by psychopolitical
operators, will bring about sufficient embarrassment.

When the loyalty of an individual cannot be swerved, and where the
opinion, weight, or effectiveness of the individual stands firmly in the
way of Communist goals, it is usually best to occasion a mild neurosis
in the person by any available means, and then having carefully given
him a history of mental imbalance, to see to it that he disposes of
himself by suicide, or to bring about his demise in such a way as to
resemble suicide. Psychopolitical operators have handled such situations
skillfully tens of thousands of times within and without Russia.

It is a firm principle of Psychopolitics that the person to be
destroyed must be involved at first or secondhand in the stigma of
insanity, and must have been placed in contact with psychopolitical
operators or persons trained by them, with a maximum amount of tumult
and publicity. The stigma of insanity is properly placed at the door of
such persons’ reputations and is held there firmly by bringing about
irrational acts, either his own or those of persons in his vicinity.
Such an activity can be classified as a partial destruction of
alignment, and if this destruction is carried forward to its furthest
extent the misalignment within the subject of all loyalties can be
considered to be complete, and alignment of new loyalties can be
embarked upon safely. By bringing about insanity or suicide on the part
of the wife of an important political personage, a sufficient
misalignment has been instigated to change his attitude. And this,
carefully reinforced and assisted by psychopolitical implantation, can
begin the rebuilding of his loyalties, but now they will be slanted in a
more proper and fitting direction.

Another reason for the alignment of psychopolitical activities with
the misalignment of insanity is that insanity, itself, is a despised and
disgraced state, and anything connected with it is lightly viewed.
Thus, a psychopolitical operator, working in the vicinity of an insane
person, can refute and disprove any accusations made against him by
demonstrating that the family itself is tainted with mental imbalance.
This strategy is surprisingly effective in capitalistic countries where
insanity is so thoroughly feared that no one would dream of
investigating any circumstances in its vicinity. Psychopolitical
propaganda works constantly and must work constantly to increase and
build up this aura of mystery surrounding insanity, and must emphasize.
the horror and hopelessness of insanity in order to excuse non-
therapeutic actions taken against the insane. Particularly in
capitalistic countries, an insane person has no rights under law. No
person who is insane may hold property. No person who is insane may
testify. Thus, we have an excellent road along which we can travel
toward our certain goal and destiny.

Just by bringing about public conviction that the sanity of a person
is in question, it is possible to discount and eradicate all of the
goals and activities of that person. By demonstrating the insanity of a
group, or even a government, it is possible, then, to cause its people
to disavow it. By magnifying the common human reaction to insanity,
through keeping the subject of insanity, itself, forever before the
public eye, and then, by utilizing this reaction to cause a revulsion on
the part of a populace against its leader or leaders, it is possible to
stop any government or movement.

It is important to know that the entire subject of loyalty is thus as
easily handled as it is. One of the first and foremost missions of the
psychopolitician is to make an attack upon communism and insanity
synonymous. It should become the definition of insanity, of the paranoid
variety, that “A paranoid believes he is being attacked by Communists.”
Thus, the support of the individual so attacking communism will fall
away and wither.

Instead of executing national leaders, we should arrange suicide for
them under circumstances that bring their demise into question. In this
way we can select out all opposition to the Communist extension into the
social orders of the world, and render populaces who would oppose us
leaderless, thus bringing about a state of chaos or misalignment into
which we can easily thrust the clear and forceful doctrines of
communism.

The cleverness of our attack in this field of Psychopolitics is
sufficient to escape the understanding of the layman and the usual
stupid official, and by operating entirely under the banner of
authority, with the oft-repeated statement that the principles of
psychotherapy are too devious for common understanding, an entire
revolution can be effected without the suspicion of a populace until it
is an accomplished fact.

As insanity is the maximum misalignment, it constitutes the most
effective weapon in the severance of loyalties to leaders and old social
orders. Thus, it is of the utmost importance that psychopolitical
operatives infiltrate the healing arts of a nation marked for conquest,
and bring from that quarter continuous pressure against the population
and the government until at last the conquest is effected. This is the
object and goal of Psychopolitics itself.

In rearranging loyalties we must have command of their values. In the
animal the first loyalty is to himself. This is destroyed by
demonstrating errors to him, showing him that he does not remember,
cannot act, or does not trust himself. The second loyalty is to his
family unit, his parents and brothers and sisters. This is destroyed by
making a family unit economically non-dependent, by lessening the value
of marriage, by making an easiness of divorce and by rasing the children
wherever possible by the State. The next loyalty is to his friends and
local environment. This is destroyed by lowering his trust through
bringing about rumors concerning him, allegedly perpetrated by his
fellows or the town or village authorities. The next is to the State
and this, for the purposes of communism, is the only loyalty that should
exist once the state is founded as a Communist State. To destroy
loyalty to the State all manner of restrictions on youth must be put
into effect so as to disenfranchise them as members of the capitalist
state and, by promises of a better lot under communism, to gain their
loyalty to a Communist movement.

Denying a capitalist country easy access to courts, bringing about and
supporting propaganda to destroy the home, creating and fostering
juvenile delinquency, thus forcing upon the state all manner of
practices to divorce the child from the family, will in the end create
the chaos so necessary to communism.

Under the saccharine guise of assistance to them, rigorous child labor
laws are the best means to deny the child any rights in a society. By
refusing to let him earn, by forcing him into unwanted dependence upon a
grudging parent, by making certain in other channels that the parent is
never economically secure, the child can be driven to revolt in his
teens, and delinquency will ensue.

By making drugs of various kinds readily available, by giving the
teenager alcohol, by praising his wildness, by stimulating him with sex
literature and advertising to him or her practices taught at the Sexpol,
the psychopolitical operator can create the necessary attitude of chaos,
idleness, and worthlessness that will be the matrix to give the teenager
complete freedom everywhere communism.

Should it be possible to continue conscription beyond any reasonable
time by promoting unpopular wars and other means, the draft can always
stand as a further barrier to the progress of youth in life by
destroying any immediate hope of participating in is nation’s civil
life.

By these means the reverence of youth for their capitalistic flag can
be dulled to a point where they are no longer dangerous as soldiers.
While this might require many decades to achieve, Capitalism’s short-
term view will never envision the length of the time frame across which
we can plan.

If we can effectively kill the national pride and patriotism of just
one generation we will have won that country. Therefore we must keep up
a continual barrage of propaganda abroad to undermine the loyalty of the
citizens in general and the teenager in particular.

The role of the psychopolitical operator is very strong. He can, from
his position as the authority on the mind, advise all manner of
destructive measures. He can teach overpermissiveness as the means of
dealing with the child at home. He can instruct, in an optimum
situation, the entire nation in how to handle children instructing them
so that the children, given no control or given no real home, can run
wildly about without responsibility for their nation or themselves.

The misalignment of the loyalty of youth to a capitalistic nation sets
the proper stage for a realignment of their loyalties with communism.
Creating a greed for drugs, sexual misbehavior, and uncontrolled
freedom, while presenting this to them as a benefit of communism, will
easily bring about our chosen alignment.

In the case of strong leaders amongst youthful groups, a
psychopolitical operator can work in many ways to use, undermine, or
discard that leadership. If it is to be used, the character of the girl
or boy must be carefully redirected into criminal channels and control
by blackmail or other means must be maintained. But where the
leadership is not susceptible, where it resists all persuasions and
might become dangerous to our cause, no pains must be spared to direct
the attention of the authorities to that person while harassing him in
one way or another until he lands in the hands of juvenile authorities.
There, it can be hoped that a psychopolitical operator, by reason of his
child advisor status, can, in the security of the jail and protected by
processes of law, destroy the sanity of that person. Particularly
brilliant scholars, athletes, and youth group leaders must be handled in
either one of these two ways.

Guiding the activities of juvenile courts provides the psychopolitical
operator with one of his easiest tasks. A capitalistic nation is so
filled with injustice in general that a little more of the same passes
without comment. In Juvenile courts there are always persons with
strange appetites whether these be judges or police, men or women. If
such do not exist they can be created. By making available to them
young girls or boys in the “security” of the jail or the detention home,
and by appearing at crucial moments with flash cameras or witnesses, one
develops a whip adequate to direct all the future decisions of that
person when these are needed.

The assessment of youth cases by courts should be led further and
further away from law and closer and closer into “mental problems” until
the entire nation thinks of “mental problems” instead of criminals.
This places vacancies everywhere in the courts, in the offices of
district attorneys, on police staffs, which can then be filled with
psychopolitical operators who then become the judges of the land by
their influence and into whose hands comes the total control of the
criminal, without whose help a revolution can never be accomplished.

By stressing this authority over the problems of youth and adults in
courts, one day the demand for psychopolitical operators could become
such that even the armed services will use “authorities on the mind” to
work their various justices and when this occurs the armed forces of the
nation then enter into our hands as solidly as if we commanded them
ourselves. With the slight bonus of thus having a skilled interrogator
near every technician or handler of secret war apparatus, the country,
in event of revolution, [witness Germany in 1918 and 1919] will find
itself immobilized by its own Army and Navy fully and entirely in
Communist hands.

Thus the subject of loyalties and their realignment is in fact the
subject of non-armed conquest of an enemy.

CHAPTER VI: The General Subject of Obedience

Obedience is the result of force. Everywhere we look in the history
of Earth we discover that obedience to new rulers has come about
entirely through the exercise of greater force on the part of those
rulers than was exercised by the old ruler. A population overridden,
conquered by war, is obedient to its conqueror. It is obedient to its
conqueror because its conqueror has exerted more force.

Force comes in many forms. One of them is brutality. The most
barbaric, unrestrained, brutal use of force, if carried far enough,
invokes obedience. Savage force, sufficiently long deployed against any
individual, will bring about his concurrence with any principle or
order.

Force is the antithesis of humanizing action. It is so synonymous in
the human mind with savagery, lawlessness, brutality, and barbarism,
that it is only necessary to display an inhuman attitude toward people,
to be granted by those people the possession of force.

Any organization that has the spirit and courage to display
inhumanity, savagery, brutality, and an uncompromising lack of humanity,
will be obeyed. Such a use of force is, itself, the essential
ingredient of greatness. We cite no less an example than our great
Communist Leaders, who, in moments of duress and trial, when faced by
Czarist rule, maintained over an enslaved populace, yet displayed
sufficient courage never to stay their hands in the conversion of the
Russian State to Communist rule.

If you would have obedience you must have no compromise with humanity.
If you would have obedience you must make it clearly understood that you
have no mercy. Man is an animal. He understands, in the final
analysis, only those things that a brute understands.

As an example of this, we find an individual refusing to obey and
being struck. His refusal to obey is now less vociferous. He is struck
again, and his resistance is lessened once more. He is hammered and
pounded again and again, until, at length, his only thought is direct
and implicit obedience to that person from whom the force has come.
This is a proven principle. It is proven because it is the main
principle that Man, the animal, has used since his earliest beginnings.
It is the only principle that has been effective, the only principle
that has brought about a wide and continued belief: For it is to our
benefit that an individual who is struck again, and again, and again
from a certain source, will, at length, hypnotically believe anything he
is told by the wielder of the blows.

The stupidity of Western civilizations is best demonstrated by the
fact that they believe hypnotism is a thing of the mind, of attention,
and a desire for unconsciousness. This is not true. Only when a person
has been beaten, punished, and mercilessly hammered, can hypnotism upon
him be guaranteed to be effective. It is stated by Western authorities
on hypnosis that only some twenty percent of the people are susceptible
to hypnotism. This statement is untrue. Given enough punishment, all
people in any time and place are susceptible to hypnotism. In other
words, the addition of force makes hypnotism uniformly effective. Where
unconsciousness could not be induced by simple concentration upon the
hypnotist, unconsciousness can be induced by drugs, by blows, by
electric shock, and by other means. And where unconsciousness cannot be
induced so as to make an implantation or an hypnotic command effective,
it is only necessary to amputate the functioning portions of the animal
man’s brain to render him null and void and no longer a menace. Thus,
we find that hypnotism is entirely effective.

The mechanisms of hypnotism demonstrate clearly that people can be
made to believe in certain conditions, and even in their environment or
in politics, by the administration of force. Thus, it is necessary for
a psychopolitician to be an expert in the administration of force.
Thus, he can bring about implicit obedience, not only on the part of
individual members of the populace, but on the entire populace itself
and its government. He need only take unto himself a sufficiently savage
role, a sufficiently uncompromising inhuman attitude, and he will be
obeyed and believed.

The subject of hypnotism is a subject of belief. What can people be
made to believe.~ They can be made to believe anything that is
administered to them with sufficient brutality and force. The obedience
of a populace is as good as their belief in their leaders. Despicable
religions, such as Christianity, know this. They know that if enough
faith can be brought into being, a populace can be enslaved by the
Christian mockeries of humanity and mercy, and thus can be disarmed.
But one need not count upon this act of faith to bring about a broad
belief. One must only exhibit enough force, enough inhumanity, enough
brutality and savageness to create implicit belief and therefore and
thereby implicit obedient. As communism is a matter of belief, its
study is a study of force.

The earliest Russian psychiatrists pioneering this science of
psychiatry understood thoroughly that hypnosis is induced by shock of an
emotional nature, and also by extreme privation, as well as by blows and
drugs.

In order to induce a deep state of hypnosis in an individual, a group,
or a population, an element of terror must always be present on the part
of those who would govern. The psychiatrist is aptly suited to this
role, kr his brutalities are committed in the name of science and are
inexplicably complex, and entirely out of view of the human
understanding. A sufficient popular terror of the psychiatrist will, in
itself, bring about insanity on the part of many individuals. A
psychopolitical operative, then, can, entirely cloaked with authority,
commence and continue a campaign of propaganda, describing various
“treatments” that are administered to the insane. A psychopolitical
operative shoed at all times insist that these treatments are
therapeutic and necessary. He can, in all of his literature and his
books, list large numbers of pretended cures by these means. But these
“cures” need not actually produce any recovery from a state of
disturbance. As long as the psychopolitical operative or his dupes are
the only authorities as to the difference between sanity and insanity,
their word as to the therapeutic value of such treatment will be the
final word. No layman would dare venture to pronounce

judgment upon the state of sanity of an individual whom the
psychiatrist has already declared insane. The individual, himself, is
unable to complain, and his family, as will be covered later, is already
discredited by the occurrence of insanity in their midst. There must be
no other adjudicators of insanity; otherwise it could be disclosed that
the brutalities practiced in the name of treatment are not therapeutic.

A psychopolitical operative has no interest in “therapeutic means” or
“cures.” The greater the number of insane in the country where he is
operating, the larger the number of the populace coming under his view,
the greater will become his facilities. Because the problem is
apparently mounting to uncontrollable heights, he can operate
increasingly in an atmosphere of emergency, which again excuses his use
of such treatments as electric shock, the prefrontal lobotomy,
transorbital leucotomy, and other operations long since practiced in
Russia on political prisoners.

It is in the interest of the psychopolitical operative that the
possibility of curing the insane be outlawed and ruled out at all times.
For the sake of obedience on the part of the population and their
general reaction, a level of brutality must, at, all costs, be
maintained. Only in this way can the absolute judgment of the
psychopolitical operative as to the sanity or insanity of public figures
be maintained without fear of contradiction. Using sufficient brutality
upon their patients, the public at large will come to believe utterly
anything they say about their patients. Furthermore, and much more
important, the field of the mind must be sufficiently dominated by the
psychopolitical operative, so that wherever tenets of the mind are
taught they will be hypnotically believed. The psychopolitical
operative, having under his control all psychology classes in an area,
can thus bring about a complete reformation of the future leaders of a
country through their educational processes, and so prepare them for
communism.

To be obeyed, one must be believed. If one is sufficiently believed,
one will unquestioningly be obeyed.

When he is fortunate enough to get his hands on anyone close to a
political or important figure, this factor of obedience becomes very
important. A certain amount of fear or terror must be engendered in the
person under treatment so that this person will then take orders
immediately, completely, and unquestioningly, from the psychopolitical
operative, and so be able to influence the actions of the person who is
to be reached.

Bringing about this state of mind on the part of a populace and its
leaders that a psychopolitical operative must, at all times, be
believed could eventually be attended by very good fortune. It is not
too much to hope that psychopolitical operatives would then, in a
country such as the United States, become the most intimate advisors to
political figures, even to the point of advising the entirety of a
political party as to its actions in an election.

The long view is the important view. Belief is engendered by a
certain amount of fear and terror from an authoritative level, and this
will be followed by obedience.

The general propaganda that would best serve Psychopolitics would be a
continual insistence that certain authoritative levels of healing deemed
this or that discipline to be the only correct treatment of insanity.
These treatments must always include a certain amount of brutality.
Propaganda should continue to stress the rising incidence of insanity in
a country. The entire field of human behavior, for the benefit of the
country, can, at length, be broadened into abnormal behavior. Thus,
anyone indulging in any eccentricity, particularly the eccentricity of
combatting psychopolitics, could be silenced by the authoritative
opinion on the part of a psychopolitical operative that he was acting in
an abnormal fashion. This, with some good fortune, could bring the
person into the hands of the psychopolitical operative so as to
forevermore disable him, or swerve his loyalties by pain-drug hypnotism.

On the subject of obedience itself, the optimum obedience is
unthinking obedience. The command given must be obeyed without any
rationalizing on the part of the subject. The command must, therefore,
be implanted below the thinking processes of the subject to be
influenced, and must react upon him in such a way as to produce no
mental alertness on his part.

It is in the interest of Psychopolitics that a population be told that
an hypnotized person will not do anything against his actual will, will
not commit immoral acts, and will not act so as to endanger himself.
While this may be true of light, parlour hypnotism, it certainly is not
true of commands implanted with the use of electric shock, drugs, or
heavy punishment. The operative counts heavily on the general public’s
faith in the more benign perception of hypnotic power, for if it were to
be generally known that individuals would obey commands harmful to
themselves, and would commit immoral acts while under the influence of
deep hypnotic commands, the actions of many people, working unknowingly
in favor of communism, would be too well understood. People acting
under deep hypnotic commands should be acting apparently of their own
volition and out of their own convictions.

The entire subject of psychopolitical hypnosis, Psychopolitics in
general, depends for its defense upon the continuous insistence on the
part of authoritative sources that such things are not possible. And,
should anyone unmask a psychopolitical operative, that operative should
at once declare the whole thing to be a physical impossibility and use
his authoritative position to discount any accusation. Should any
writings of Psychopolitics come to view, it is only necessary to brand
them a hoax and laugh them out of existence. Thus, psychopolitical
activities are easy to defend.

When psychopolitical activities have reached a certain peak, from
there on it is almost impossible to undo them, for the population is
already under the duress of obedience to the psychopolitical operatives
and their dupes. The ingredient of obedience is important, for the
complete belief in the psychopolitical operative renders his statement
canceling any challenge to psychopolitical operations irrefutable. The
optimum circumstance would be to occupy every position that would be
consulted by officials whenever the subject of Psychopolitics came under
question. Thus, a psychiatric advisor should be placed near to hand in
every government operation. As all suspicions would then be referred to
him, no action would ever be taken, and the goal of communism could be
realized in that nation.

Psychopolitics depends, from the viewpoint of the layman, upon its
fantastic aspects. These are its best defense, but above all else is
implicit obedience on the part of officials and the general public
because of the role of the psychopolitical operative in the Field of
healing.

CHAPTER VII: Anatomy of Stimulus-Response Mechanisms of Man

Man is a stimulus-response animal. His entire reasoning capabilities,
even his ethics and morals, depend upon stimulus-response machinery.
This has long been demonstrated by such Russians as Pavlov, and the
principles have long been used in handling the recalcitrant, in training
children, and in bringing about a state of optimum behavior on the part
of a population.

Having no independent will of his own, Man is easily handled by
stimulus-response mechanisms. It is only necessary to install a
stimulus into the mental anatomy of Man to have that stimulus reactivate
and respond any time an exterior command source calls it into being.

The mechanisms of stimulus-response are easily understood. The body
takes pictures of every action in the environment around an individual.
When the environment includes brutality, terror, shock, and other such
activities, the mental image picture gained contains in itself all the
ingredients of the environment. If the individual himself was injured
during that moment, the injury itself will remanifest when called upon
to respond by an exterior command source.

As an example of this, if an individual is beaten and is told during
the entirety of the beating that he must obey certain officials, he
will, in the future, feel the beginnings of the pain the moment he
begins to disobey. The installed pain itself reacts as a policeman, for
the experience of the individual demonstrates to him that he cannot
combat, and will receive pain from, certain officials.

The mind can become very complex in its stimulus responses. As easily
demonstrated in hypnotism, an entire chain of commands, having to do
with a great many complex actions, can be beaten, shocked, or terrorized
into a mind, and will there lie dormant until called into action by some
similarity in the circumstances of the environment to the incident of
punishment.

The response mechanism need only be reminded of some small part of the
stimulus to call into view the mental image picture and cause the body
to remember the pain connected with the “incident of punishment.” But so
long as the individual obeys the picture, or follows the commands of the
stimulus implantation he is free from pain.

The behavior of children is regulated in this fashion in every
civilized country. The father, finding himself unable to bring about
immediate obedience and training on the part of his child, resorts to
physical violence, and after administering punishment of a physical
nature to the child on several occasions, is gratified to experience
complete obedience on the part of the child each time the father speaks.
In that parents are wont to be lenient with their children, they seldom
administer sufficient punishment to bring about optimum obedience. The
ability of the organism to withstand punishment is great. Complete and
implicit response can be gained only by stimuli sufficiently brutal to
injure the organism. The Kossack method of breaking wild horses is a
good example. The horse will not restrain itself or take any of its
rider’s commands. The rider, wishing to break it, mounts and smashes a
flask of strong Vodka between the horse’s ears. The horse, struck to
its knees, its eyes filled with alcohol, mistaking the dampness for
blood, instantly and thereafter gives its attention to the rider and
never needs further breaking. Difficulty in breaking horses is
occasioned only when light punishments are administered. You often hear
some mawkish sentimentality about “breaking the spirit,” but what you
want here is an obedient horse, and sufficient brutality brings about an
obedient horse.

The stimulus-response mechanisms of the body are such that the pain
and the command subdivide so as to counter each other. The mental image
picture of the punishment will not become effective upon the individual
unless the command content is disobeyed. It is pointed out in many
early Russian writings that this is a survival mechanism. It has
already been well and thoroughly used in the survival of communism.

It is only necessary to deliver into the organism a sufficient
stimulus to gain an adequate response.

So long as the organism obeys the stimulus whenever it is restimulated
in the future, it does not suffer from the pain of the stimulus. But
should it disobey the command content of the stimulus, the stimulus
reacts to punish the individual. Thus, we have an optimum circumstance,
and one of the basic principles of Psychopolitics. A sufficiently
installed stimulus will thereafter remain as a police mechanism within
the individual to cause him to follow the commands and directions given
to him. Should he fail to follow these commands and directions, the
stimulus mechanism will go into action. As the commands are there with
the moment of duress, the commands themselves need never be repeated,
and if the individual were to depart thousands of miles away from the
psychopolitical operative, he will still obey the psychopolitical
operative, or, himself, become extremely ill and in agony. These
principles, refined from the earliest days of Pavlov, by constant and
continuous Russian development, have, at last, become of enormous use to
us in our conquest. Less modern and well-informed countries of Earth,
lacking this mechanism, fail to understand it, and coaxed into
somnolence by our own psychopolitical operatives, who discount and
disclaim it, cannot avoid succumbing to it.

The body is less able to resist a stimulus if it has insufficient food
and is weary. Therefore, it is necessary to administer all such stimuli
to individuals when their ability to resist has been reduced by
privation and exhaustion. Refusal to let them sleep over many days, or
denying them adequate food, produces an optimum state for the receipt of
a stimulus. If the person is then given an electrical shock, and is
told while the shock is in action that he must obey and do certain
things, he has no choice but to do them, or to reexperience, because of
his mental image picture of it, the electric shock. This highly
scientific and intensely workable mechanism cannot be overestimated in
the practice of psychopolitics.

Drugging the individual produces an artificial exhaustion, and if he
is drugged, or shocked and beaten, and given a string of commands, his
loyalties can be definitely rearranged. This is P.D.H., or Pain-Drug
Hypnosis.

The psychopolitical operative in training should be thoroughly versed
in the subject of hypnotism and post-hypnotic suggestion. He should pay
particular attention to the “forgetter mechanism” aspect of hypnotism,
which is to say, implantation in the unconscious mind. He should note
particularly that a person given a command in an hypnotic state, and
then told when still in that condition to forget it, will execute it on
a stimulus-response signal in the environment after he has “awakened”
from his hypnotic trance.

Having mastered these details fully, he should, by practicing upon
criminals and prisoners, or inmates available to him, produce the
hypnotic trance by drugs, and drive home post-hypnotic suggestions by
pain administered to the drugged person. He should then study the
reactions of the person when “awakened,” and should give him the
stimulus-response signal which would throw into action the commands
given while the subject was in a drugged state of duress. By much
practice he can then learn the threshold dosages of various drugs, and
the amount of duress in terms of electric shock or additional drug shock
necessary to produce the optimum obedience to the commands. He should
also satisfy himself that there is no possible method known to Man
there must be no possible method known to Man of bringing the patient
into awareness of what has happened to him, keeping him in a state of
obedience and response while ignorant of its cause.

Using criminals and prisoners, the psychopolitical operative in
training should then experiment with duress in the absence of privation,
administering electric shocks, beatings, and terror-inducing tactics,
accompanied by the same mechanisms as those employed in hypnotism, and
watch the conduct of the person when no longer

under duress.

The operative in training should carefully remark those who show a
tendency to protest, so that he may recognize possible recovery of
memory of the commands implanted. Purely for his own education, he
should then satisfy himself as to the efficacy of brain surgery in
disabling the nonresponsive prisoner.

The boldness of the psychopolitical operative can be increased
markedly by permitting back into society persons who have been given
pain-drug hypnosis and who have demonstrated symptoms of rebelling or
reinstating themselves in the society, if only to observe how the label
of “insanity” continues to discredit and discount the statements of such
persons.

Exercises in bringing about insanity seizures at will, simply by
demonstrating a signal to persons upon whom pain-drug hypnosis has been
used, and exercises in making the seizures come about through talking to
certain persons in certain places and times should also be used.

Brain surgery, as developed in Russia, should also be practiced by the
psychopolitical operative in training, to give him full confidence in 1)
the crudeness with which it can be done, 2) the certainty of erasure of
cd stimulus-response mechanism itself, 3) the production of imbecility,
idiocy, and discoordination on the part of the patient, and 4) the
comparative lack of comment or public indignation occasioned by
casualties in brain surgery.

Exercises in sexual attack on patients should be practiced by the
psychopolitical operative to demonstrate the inability of the patient
under pain-drug hypnosis to recall the attack that has indoctrinated him
with a lust for further sexual activity. Sex, in all animals, is a
powerful motivator, and is no less so in the animal Man. The occasioning
of sexual liaison between females of a target family and well-chosen
males, under the control of the psychopolitical operative, must be
demonstrated to be possible with complete security for the
psychopolitical operative, thus putting into his hands an excellent
weapon for the breaking down of familial relations and consequent public
disgrace for the psychopolitical target.

Just as a dog can be trained, so can a man be trained. Just as a
horse can be trained, so can a man be trained. Sexual lust, masochism,
and any other desirable perversion can be induced by pain-drug hypnosis
and the techniques of Psychopolitics.

The changes of loyalties, allegiances, and sources of command can be
occasioned easily by psychopolitical technologies, and these should be
practiced and understood by the psychopolitical operative before he
begins to tamper with psychopolitical targets of any magnitude or
importance. The actual simplicity of the subject of pain-drug hypnosis,
the use of electric shock, drugs, insanity-producing injections, and
other materials, should be masked entirely by technical nomenclature, by
the insistence on future benefit to the patient, by an authoritarian
pose and position, and by a careful cultivation and acquisition of
governmental positions in the country to be conquered.

Although the psychopolitical operative working in universities where
he can direct curricula of psychology classes is often tempted to teach
some of the principles of Psychopolitics to the susceptible students in
the psychology classes, he is enjoined not to do so. He must limit his
variations on the teaching of psychology to transmitting the tenets of
communism under the guise of psychology and do so in a way that will
cause the students to accept Communist tenets as their own idea or as
modern scientific thinking. The psychological operative must nor at any
time educate students thoroughly in stimulus-response mechanisms, and
must not impart to them, save those who are to become his fellow
workers, the exact principles of Psychopolitics. It is not necessary to
do so, and it is dangerous.

CHAPTER VIII: Degradation, Shock, and Endurance

Degradation and conquest are companions. In order to be conquered, a
nation must be degraded, either by acts of war, by being overrun, by
being forced into humiliating treaties of peace, or by the treatment of
her populace under the armies of the conqueror. However, degradation
can be accomplished much more insidiously and much more effectively by
consistent and continual defamation.

Defamation is the best and foremost weapon of Psychopolitics on the
broad field. Continual and constant degradation of national leaders,
national institutions, national practices, and national heroes must be
systematically carried out, but this is the chief function of Communist
Party Members, in general, not the psychopolitician.

The psychopolitician’s realm of defamation and degradation is Man
himself. By attacking the character and morals of Man himself, and by
bringing about, through contamination of youth, a general degraded
feeling, command of the populace is facilitated to a marked degree.

There is a curve of degradation that leads downward to a point where
the endurance of an individual is almost at an end, and any sudden
action toward him will place him in a state of shock. Similarly, a
soldier held prisoner can be abused, denied, defamed, and degraded until
the slightest motion on the part of his captors will cause him to
flinch. Similarly, the slightest word on the part of his captors will
cause him to obey, or vary his loyalties and beliefs. Given sufficient
degradation, a prisoner can be caused to murder his fellow countrymen in
the same stockade. Experiments on German prisoners have lately
demonstrated that after seventy days of filthy food, little sleep, and
nearly untenable quarters, the least motion toward the prisoner will
bring about a state of shock beyond his endurance threshold and will
cause him to receive hypnotically anything said to him. Thus, it is
possible, in an entire stockade of prisoners numbering into the
thousands, to bring about a state of complete servile obedience, and
without having to personally address each one, to pervert their
loyalties and implant in them adequate commands to ensure their future
conduct, even after their release to their own people.

By lowering the endurance of a person, a group, or a nation, and by
constant degradation and defamation, a state of shock can be induced
that will cause an adequate response to any command. The first thing to
be degraded in any nation is the state of Man himself. Nations that
have high ethical tone are difficult to conquer. Their loyalties are
hard to shake, their allegiance to their leaders is fanatical, and what
they usually call their spiritual integrity cannot be violated by
duress. It is not efficient to attack a nation in such a frame of mind.
It is the basic purpose of Psychopolitics to reduce that state of mind
to a point where it can be ordered and enslaved. Thus, the first target
is Man himself. He must be degraded from a spiritual being to an
animalistic reaction pattern. He must think of himself as an animal,
capable only of animalistic reactions. He must no longer think of
himself, or of his fellows, as capable of “spiritual endurance,” or
nobility.

The best approach toward degradation in its first stages is the
propaganda of ‘scientific approach” to Man. Man must be consistently
demonstrated to be a mechanism without individuality, and the idea must
be programmed into a populace under attack that Man’s individualistic
reactions are the products of mental derangement. The populace must be
made to believe that every individual within it who rebels in any way,
shape, or form against efforts and activities to enslave the whole, must
be considered to be a deranged person whose eccentricities are neurotic
or insane, and who must be referred at once to the treatment of a
psychopolitician (licensed as a mental healer).

An optimum maneuver in such a program of degradation is to address
itself to the military forces of the nation, and disabuse them rapidly
from any belief other than that the disobedient one must be subjected to
“mental treatment.” The enslavement of a population can Fail only if
thee rebellious individuals are left to exert their individual influence
upon their fellow citizens, sparking them into rebellion, calling into
account their past nobility and ideals of freedom. Unless these
restless individuals are stamped out and given into the hands of
psychopolitical operatives early in the game, there will be nothing but
trouble as the conquest continues.

The officials of the government, students, readers, partakers and
providers of entertainment, must all be indoctrinated, by whatever
means, into the complete belief that the restless, the ambitious, the
natural leaders, are suffering from environmental maladjustments, which
can be healed only by recourse to psychopolitical operatives in the
guise of mental healers.

By thus degrading the general belief in the status of Man it is
relatively simple, with cooperation from the economic salient’ being
driven into the country, to drive citizens apart, one from another, to
bring into question the wisdom of their own government, and to cause
them to beg actively for a takeover.

The educational programs of Psychopolitics must, at every hand, seek
out the levels of youth who will become the leaders in the country’s
future, and educate them into a belief in the animalistic nature of Man.
This must be made fashionable. They must be taught to frown upon ideas,
upon individual endeavor. They must be taught, above all things, that
the salvation of Man is to be found only through his perfect adjustment
to this environment.

This educational program in the field of Psychopolitics can best be
followed by bringing about a compulsory training in some subject such as
psychology or other mental practice, and seeing to it that each broad
program of psychopolitical training is supervised by a psychiatrist who
is a trained psychopolitical operative.

As it seems that the church is the most ennobling influence in foreign
nations, each and every branch and activity of each and every church,
must, one way or another, be discredited. Religion must be made
unfashionable by our demonstrating broadly, through psychopolitical
indoctrination, that the soul is nonexistent, and that Man is an animal.
The lying mechanisms of Christianity lead men to foolishly brave deeds.
By teaching them that there is a life hereafter, the church minimizes
the liability of courageous acts during this lifetime. And the
liability of any act must be markedly increased if a populace is to be
obedient. Thus, there must be no standing belief in the church, and the
power of the church must be denied at every opportunity.

The psychopolitical operative, in his program of degradation, should
at all times bring into question any family that is deeply religious,
and, should any neurosis or insanity be occasioned in that family, he
should blame and hold responsible their religious connections for the
neurotic or psychotic condition. Religion must be made synonymous with
neurosis and psychosis. People who are deeply religious would be less
and less held likely to be responsible for their own sanity, and should
more and more be relegated to the ministrations of psychopolitical
operatives.

By perverting the institutions of a nation and bringing about a
general degradation, by interfering with the economics of a nation to
the degree that privation and depression become commonplace, only minor
shocks will be necessary to produce, on the populace as a whole, an
obedient reaction or an hysteria. Thus, the mere threat of war, the
mere threat of bombings, could cause the population to sue instantly for
peace. It is a long and arduous road for the psychopolitical operative
to achieve this state of mind on the part of a whole nation, but no more
than twenty or thirty years should be necessary to run the entire
program. Having to hand, as we do, weapons with which to accomplish the
goal.

CHAPTER IX: The Organization of Mental Health Campaigns

Psychopolitical operatives should at all times be alert to the
opportunity to organize mental health clubs or groups “for the
betterment of the community.” By thus inviting the cooperation of the
population as a whole in mental health pr s, the terrors of mental
aberration can be disseminated throughout the populace. Furthermore,
each one of these mental health groups, properly guided, can bring
enough legislative pressure on the government to secure the position of
the psychopolitical operative, and to obtain for him government grants
and facilities, thus bringing a government to finance its own downfall.

Mental health organizations must carefully delete from their ranks
anyone actually proficient in the handling or treatment of mental
health. Thus priest, ministers, actually trained psychoanalysts, good
hypnotists, or trained Dianeticists must be excluded. These, with some
cognizance of the subject of mental aberration and its treatment, and
with some experience in observing the mentally deranged, if allowed in
large numbers within institutions, and if permitted to receive
literature, would, sooner or later, become suspicious of the activities
carried on by the psychopolitical operative. These must be defamed and
excluded as “untrained,” “unskillful,” “quacks,” or “perpetrators of
hoaxes.”

No mental health movement with actual goals of mental therapy should
be allowed to continue in existence in any nation. For instance, the
use of Chinese acupuncture in the treatment of mental and physical
derangement must, in China, be stamped out and discredited thoroughly,
as it has some efficacy, and, more importantly, its practitioners
understand, through long acquaintance with it, many of the principles of
actual mental health and aberration.

In the field of mental health, the psychopolitician must occupy, and
continue to occupy, through various means, the authoritative position on
the subject. There is always the danger that problems of mental health
may be resolved by some individual or group, which might then discredit
the program of the psychopolitical operative in his mental health clubs.

City officials, socialites, and other outstanding individuals
uninformed on the subject of mental health, should be invited to full
participation in the activity of mental health groups. But the sole aim
of this activity should be to finance better facilities for the
psychopolitical practitioner. To these groups it must be continually
stressed that the entire subject of mental illness is so complex that
none of them, certainly, could understand any part of it. Thus, the dub
should be kept on a social and financial level.

Where groups interested in the health of the community have already
been formed, they should be infiltrated and taken over, and if this is
not possible, they should be discredited, and the officialdom of the
area should be invited to stamp them out as dangerous.

When a hostile group dedicated to mental health is discovered, the
psychopolitician should have recourse to peyote, mescaline, and other
drugs that cause temporary insanity. He should send persons, preferably
those well under his control, into the mental health group, whether
founded on Christian Science, Dianetics, or faith preaching, to
demonstrate their abilities upon this new person. These, in
demonstrating their abilities, will usually act with enthusiasm. Midway
in the course of their treatment, a quiet injection of peyote,
mescaline, or other drug, or an electric shock, administered by a
psychopolitician, will produce the symptoms of insanity in the patient
that has been sent to the target group. The patient thus demonstrating
momentary insanity should immediately be reported to the police and
taken away to some area of incarceration managed by psychopolitical
operatives, and so placed out of sight. Officialdom will thus come to
believe that this group drives individuals insane by their practices,
and the practices of the group will then be despised and prohibited by
law.

The values of a widespread mental health organization are manifest
when one realizes that any government can be forced to provide
facilities for psychopolitical operatives in the form of psychiatric
wards in all hospitals, in national institutions totally in the hands of
psychopolitical operatives, and in the establishment of clinics where
youth can be contacted and forced into better alignment with the
purposes of Psychopolitics.

Such groups form a political force, which can then legalize any law or
authority desired by the psychopolitical operative.

The securing of authority over such mental health organizations is
managed mainly by appeal to education. A psychopolitical operative
should make sure that those psychiatrists he controls, those
psychologists whom he has under his orders, have been trained for an
excessively long period of time. The longer the training period that
can be required, the safer the psychopolitical program, since no new
group of practitioners can arise to uncover and embarrass
psychopolitical programs. Furthermore, the groups themselves cannot
hope to obtain any full knowledge of the subject, not having behind them
many, many years of intensive training.

Vienna has been carefully maintained as the home of psychopolitics,
since it was the home of Psychoanalysis. Although our activities have
long since dispersed any of the gains made by Freudian groups, and have
taken over these groups, the proximity of Vienna to Russia, where
Psychopolitics is operating abroad, and the necessity “for further
study” by psychopolitical operatives in the birthplace of
Psychoanalysis, makes periodic contacts with headquarters possible.
Thus, the word “psychoanalysis” must be stressed at all times, and must
be pretended to be a thorough part of the psychiatrist’s training.

Psychoanalysis profits greatly from its possession of a vocabulary,
and a workability that is sufficiently poor to avoid recovery of
psychopolitical implantations. It can be made fashionable throughout
mental health organizations, and by learning its patter, and by
believing they see some of its phenomena, the members of mental health
groups can believe themselves conversant with mental health. Because
its stress is sex, it is, itself, an adequate defamation of character,
and serves the purposes of degradation well. Thus, in organizing mental
health groups, the literature furnished such groups should be
psychoanalytical in nature.

If a group of persons interested in suppressing juvenile delinquency
and in caring for the insane (and indirectly the promotion of
psychopolitical operatives and their actions) can be formed in every
major city of a country under conquest, the success of a psychopolitical
program is assured, since these groups seem to represent a large segment
of the population. By continual exposure to the airing of propaganda on
the subject of dope addiction, homosexuality, and depraved conduct on
the pari of the young, even the judges of a country can become suborned
into reacting violently against the youth of the country, thus
misaligning the youth and gaining their support for our goals at the
same time.

The communication lines of psychopolitics, if such mental health
organizations can be well established in a country, can thus run from
its most prominent citizens to its government. It is not too much to
hope that the influence of such groups could bring about a psychiatric
ward in every hospital in the land, and psychiatrists in every company
and regiment of the nation’s army, and whole government, institutes
manned entirely by psychopolitical operatives, into which ailing
government officials could be placed, to the advantage of the
psychopolitician.

If a psychiatric ward could be established in every hospital in every
city in a nation, it is certain that, at one time or another, every
prominent citizen of the nation could come under the ministrations of
psychopolitical operatives or their dupes.

The validation of a need for psychiatric evaluations in the armed
forces and security-minded institutions of the nation under conquest
could bring about a flow and fund of information unlike any other
program imaginable. If every pilot who flies a new plane could come
under the questioning of a psychopolitical operative, if the compiler of
every plan of military action could thus come under the review of
psychopolitical operatives, the simplicity with which information can be
extracted by the use of certain drugs, without the after-knowledge of
the soldier, would entirely cripple any overt action toward communism.
If the nation could be educated into turning over to psychopolitical
operatives every recalcitrant or rebellious soldier, it would lose its
best fighters.

Thus, the advantage of mental health organizations can be seen, for
these, by exerting an apparent pressure against the government (in the
public interest, of course), can achieve these ends and goals.

The financing of a psychopolitical operation is difficult unless it is
done by the citizens and government. Although vast sums of money can be
obtained from private patients, and from relatives who wish persons put
away, it is, nevertheless, difficult to obtain millions, unless the
government itself is cooperating. The cooperation of the government
needed to obtain these vast sums of money is best obtained by the
organization of mental health groups composed of leading citizens who
bring their lobbying abilities to bear against the nation’s government.
Thus can many programs be financed that might otherwise have had to be
set aside by the psychopolitician.

The psychopolitical operative should also spare no expense in smashing
out of existence, by whatever means, any actual healing group, such as
that of acupuncture, in China; such as Christian Science, Dianetics, and
faith healing, in the United States; such as Catholicism in Italy and
Spain; and the practical psychological groups of England.

CHAPTER X: Conduct Under Fire

The psychopolitician may well find himself under attack as an
individual or a member of a group. He may be attacked as a Communist
through some leak tn the organization, or he may be attacked for
malpractice. He may be attacked by the families of people whom he has
injured. In all cases his conduct in the situation should be calm and
aloof. He should have behind him the authority of many years of
training, and he should have participated fully in the building of
defenses m the field of insanity which give him the sole claim to
expertise on conditions of the mind.

If he has not done his work well, an individual psychopolitician may
be exposed by hostile groups. These may call into question the efficacy
of psychiatric treatment such as shock, drugs, and brain surgery.
Therefore, the psychopolitical operative must have at hand innumerable
documents that assert enormously encouraging figures on the subject of
recovery by reason of shock, brain surgery, drugs, and general
treatment. Not one of the cases cited need be real, but they should be
documented and printed in such a fashion as to form excellent court
evidence.

When his allegiance is attacked, the psychopolitical operative should
explain his connection with Vienna on the grounds that Vienna is the
place of study for all important matters of the mind. More importantly,
he should laugh into scorn, by reason of his authority, the sanity of
the person attacking him, and if the psychopolitical archives of the
country are adequate many defamatory data can be unearthed and presented
as a rebuttal, if needed.

Should anyone attempt to expose psychotherapy as a psychopolitical
activity, the best defense is calling into question the sanity of the
attacker. The next best defense is authority. The next best defense is
a validation of psychiatric practices in terms of long and impressive
figures. The next best defense is the actual removal of the attacker by
giving him, or them, treatment sufficient to bring about a period of
insanity for the duration of the trial. This, more than anything else,
would discredit them, but it is extremely dangerous to manage.

Psychopolitics should avoid murder and violence, unless it is done in
the safety of the institution, on persons who have been proven to be
insane. Where institution deaths appear to be unnecessary, or to rise
in “unreasonable numbers,” political capital might be made of this by
city officials or legislature. If the psychopolitical operative,
himself, or if his group has done a thorough job, defamatory data
concerning the person, or connections, of the would-be attacker should
be on file, should be documented, and should be used in such a way as to
discourage the inquiry.

After a period of indoctrination, a country will expect insanity to be
met by psychopolitical violence. Psychopolitical activities should
become the only recognized treatment for insanity. Indeed, this notion
can be carried to such lengths that it could be made illegal for
electric shock and brain surgery to be omitted in the treatment of a
patient.

In order to defend psychopolitical activities, a great complexity
should be made of psychiatric, psychoanalytical, and psychological
technology. Any hearing should be burdened by terminology too difficult
to be transcribed easily. A great deal should be made out of such terms
as schizophrenia, paranoia, and other relatively undefinable states.

Psychopolitical tests need not necessarily be in agreement, one to
another, where they are available to the public. Various types of
insanity should be characterized by difficult terms. The actual state
should be made obscure, but this verbiage can insinuate into the court
or investigating mind that a scientific approach exists and that it is
too complex for him to understand. It is not to be imagined that a
judge or a committee of investigation should inquire too deeply into the
subject of insanity, since they, themselves, part of the indoctrinated
masses, are already intimidated if the psychopolitical activity has
managed to become well-documented in magazine horror stories.

In case of a hearing or trial, the awfulness of insanity itself, its
threat to society, should be exaggerated until the court or committee
believes that the psychopolitical operative is vitally necessary in his
post and should not be harassed by the activities of persons who are
irrational.

An immediate attack upon the sanity of the attacker before any
possible hearing can take place is the very best defense. It should
become well known that “only the insane attack psychiatrists.” The
byword should be built into the society that paranoia is a condition “in
which the individual believes he is being attacked by Communists.” This
defense will be found to be effective.

Part of an effective defense should include the society’s entire lack
of any real psychotherapy. Any real therapy must be systematically
stamped out, since a real psychotherapy might possibly uncover the
results of psychopolitical activities.

Jurisprudence, in a capitalistic nation, is so clumsy that cases are
invariably tried in their newspapers. We have handled these things much
better in Russia, and have uniformly brought people to trial with full
confessions already arrived at (having been implanted) before the trial
takes place. Should any whisper or pamphlet against psychopolitical
activities be published, it should be laughed into scorn, branded
immediately as a hoax, and its perpetrator or publisher should be, at
the first opportunity, branded insane, and by the use of drugs the
insanity should be confirmed.

CHAPTER XI: The Use of Psychopolitics in Spreading Communism

Reactionary nations are of such a composition that they attack a word
without understanding it. As the conquest of a nation by communism
depends upon imbuing its population with communistic tenets, it is not
necessary that the term “communism” be applied at first to the educative
measures employed.

As an example, in the United States we have been able to alter the
works of William James, and others, into a more acceptable pattern, and
to place the tenets of Karl Marx, Pavlov, Lamarck, and the data of
Dialectic Materialism into the textbooks of psychology, to such a degree
that anyone making a thorough study of psychology becomes at once a
candidate to accept the reasonableness o communism.

As every chair of psychology in the United States is occupied by
persons connected with us, or who can be influenced by persons connected
with us, the consistent employment of such texts is guaranteed. They
are given an authoritative ring, and they are carefully taught.

Constant pressure on the legislatures of the United States can bring
about legislation to the effect that every student attending a high school
or university must have classes in psychology.

Educating broadly the educated strata of the populace into the tenets
of communism is thus rendered relatively easy, and when the choice is
given them whether to continue in a capitalistic or a Communistic
condition, they will see, suddenly, in communism, much more
reasonableness than in capitalism, which will now be seen by our own
definition.

CHAPTER XII: Violent Remedies

As populaces, in general, understand that violence is necessary in the
handling of the insane, violent remedies seem to be reasonable.
Starting from a relatively low level of violence, such as straitjackets
and other restraints, it is relatively easy to encroach upon the public
diffident where violence is concerned by adding more and more cruelty to
the treatment of the insane.

By increasing the brutality of “treatment,” the public expectation of
such treatment will be assisted, and the protest of the individual to
whom the treatment is given is impossible. since immediately after the
treatment he is incapable. The family of the individual under treatment
is already suspect for having had in its midst an insane person. The
family’s protest should be discredited.

The more violent the treatment, the more command value the
psychopolitical operative will accumulate. Brain operations should
become standard and commonplace. While the figures of actual deaths
should be repressed wherever possible, it is nevertheless of no great
concern to the psychopolitical operative that many deaths do occur.

Gradually, the public should be educated in electric shock, first by
being led to believe that it is very therapeutic, then by believing that
it is quieting, then by being informed that electric shock usually
injures the spine and teeth, and finally, that it very often kills or at
least breaks the spine and removes, violently, the teeth of the patient.
It is very doubtful if anyone from the lay levels of the public could
tolerate the observation of a single electric shock treatment.
Certainly they could not tolerate witnessing a prefrontal lobotomy or
transorbital leucotomy. However, they should be brought up to a level
where this is possible, where it is the expected treatment, and where
the details, of the treatment itself can be made known, thus adding to
psychopolitical prestige.

The more violent the treatment, the more hopeless insanity will seem
to be.

The society should be worked up to the level where every recalcitrant
young man can be brought into court and assigned to a psychopolitical
operative, given electric shocks, and reduced into unimaginative
docility for the remainder of his days.

By continuous and increasing advertising of the violence of treatment,
the public will at last come to tolerate the creation of zombie
conditions to such a degree that they will probably employ zombies, if
given to them. Thus a large stratum of the society, particularly that
which was rebellious, can be reduced to the service of the
psychopolitician.

By various means, a public must at least be convinced that insanity
can only be met by shock, torture, deprivation, defamation,
discreditation, violence, maiming, death, punishment in all its forms.
The society, at the same time, must be educated into the belief that
insanity is increasing within its ranks. This creates an emergency and
places the psychopolitician in a saviour role that will eventually put
him in charge of the society.

CHAPTER XIII: The Recruiting of Psychopolitical Dupes

The psychopolitical dupe is a well-trained individual who serves in
complete obedience to the psychopolitical operative.

In that nearly all persons in training are expected to undergo a
certain amount of treatment in any field of the mind, it is not too
difficult to persuade persons in the field of mental healing to subject
themselves to mild or minor drugs or shock. IF this can be done, a
psychological dupe can immediately result from the use of pain-drug
hypnosis.

Recruitment into the ranks of “mental healing” can best be done by
carefully bringing to it only those healing students who are, to some
slight degree, already depraved, or who have been “treated” by
psychopolitical operatives.

Recruitment is effected by making the field of mental healing very
attractive, financially and sexually.

The amount of promiscuity that can be induced in mental patients can
work definitely to the advantage of the psychopolitical recruiting
agent. The dupe can thus be induced into many lurid sexual contacts,
and these, properly witnessed, can thereafter br used as blackmail
material to assist any failure of pain-drug hypnosis in causing him to
execute orders.

The promise of unlimited sexual opportunities, the promise of complete
dominion over the bodies and minds of helpless patients, the promise of
complete lawlessness without detection, can thus attract to “mental
healing” many desirable recruits who will willingly fall in line with
psychopolitical activities.

In that the psychopolitician has under his control the insane of the
nation, most of them with criminal tendencies, and as he can, as his
movement goes forward, recruit for his ranks the criminals themselves,
he has unlimited numbers of human beings to employ on whatever project
he may see fit. In that the insane will execute destructive projects
without question, if given the proper amount of punishment and
implantation, the degradation of the country’s youth, the defamation of
its leaders, the suborning of its courts becomes childishly easy.

The psychopolitician has the advantage of naming as a delusory symptom
any attempt on the part of a patient to expose commands.

The psychopolitician should carefully adhere to institutions and
should eschew private practice whenever possible, since this gives him
the greatest number of human beings to control to the use of communism.
When he does act in private practice, his practice should be limited to
contact with the families of the wealthy and the officials of the
country.

CHAPTER XIV: The Smashing of Religious Groups

You must know that until recent times the entire subject of mental
derangement, whether so lift as simple worry or so heavy as insanity,
was the sphere of activity of the church and only the church.

Traditionally, both in civilized and barbaric nations, the priesthood
alone had complete charge of the mental condition of the citizen. As a
matter of great concern to the psychopolitician this tendency still
exists in every public in the Western World and scientific inroads into
this sphere have occurred only in official and never in public quarters.

The magnificent tool welded for us by Wundt would be as nothing if it
were not for official insistence in civilized countries that “scientific
practices” be applied to the problem of the mind. Without this official
insistence or even if it were to be relaxed for a moment, the masses
would grasp stupidly for the priest, the minister, the clergy, whenever
mental conditions came into question. Today in Europe and America
“scientific practices” in the field of the mind would not last moments
if not routinely enforced by officialdom.

Care must be taken to hide the fact that the incidence of insanity has
increased only since these “scientific practices” started to be applied.
Much mention must be made of “the pace of modern living” and other myths
as the cause of the increased neurosis in the world. We care nothing
about what causes it if anything does. But we must tolerate no evidence
of any kind to get out and drive the public back to the church. If
given their heads, if left to themselves to decide, independent of
officialdom, where they would place their deranged loved ones the public
would choose religious sanitariums and would avoid as if plagued the
places where “scientific practices” prevail.

Given any slight encouragement, public support would instantly sweep
all mental healing back into the hands of the churches. And there are
churches waiting to receive it, clever churches. That terrible monster,
the Roman Catholic Church, still dominates mental healing throughout the
Christian world and well schooled priests are always at work to draw the
public back to the fold. Among Fundamentalist and Pentecostal groups
healing campaigns are conducted, which, because of their results, win
many to the cult of Christianity. In the field of pure healing, the
Church of Christ Science of Boston, Massachusetts excels in commanding
the public favor and operates many sanitariums. All these must be swept
aside. They must be ridiculed and defamed and every cure they advertise
must be labeled a hoax. A full fifth of a psychopolitician’s time
should be devoted to smashing these threats. Just as in Russia we had
to destroy the Church after many, many years of the most arduous work,
so we must destroy all faiths in nations marked for conquest.

Insanity must hound the footsteps of every priest and practitioner.
The best testimonials to his skill must be turned into gibbering madmen
no matter what means we have to use.

You need not care what effect you have upon the public. The effect
you care about is the one upon officials. You must recruit every agency
of the nation marked for slaughter into a Foaming hatred of religious
healing. You must suborn district attorneys and judges into an intense
belief as fervent as an ancient faith in God that Christian Science or
any other religious practice that might devote itself to mental healing
is vicious, bad, insanity-causing, publicly hated and intolerable.

You must suborn and recruit any medical healing organization into
collusion in this campaign. You must appeal to their avarice and even
their humanity to invite their cooperation in smashing all religious
healing and thus, to our end, care of the insane. You must see that
such societies have only qualified Communist-indoctrinees as their
advisors in this matter. For you can use such societies. They are
stupid and stampede easily. Their cloak and degrees can be used quite
well to mask any operation we care to have masked. We must make them
partners in our endeavor so that they will never be able to crawl out
from under our thumb and discredit us.

We have battled in America since the turn of the century to bring to
nothing any and all Christian influences and we are succeeding. While
today we seem to be kind to the Christian remember that we have yet to
influence the “Christian world” to our ends. When that is done we shall
have an end of them everywhere. You may see them here in Russia as
trained apes. They do not know their tether will stay long only until
the apes in other lands have become unwary.

You must work until “religion” is synonymous with “insanity.” You must
work until the officials of city, county, and state governments will not
think twice before they pounce upon religious groups as public enemies.

Remember, all lands are governed by the few who only pretend to
consult with the many. It is no different in America. The petty
official, the maker of laws alike can be made to believe the worst. It
is not necessary to convince the masses. It is only necessary to work
incessantly upon the official, using personal defamation, wild lies,
false evidence, and constant propaganda to make him fight for you
against the church or against any practitioner.

Like the official, the bona fide medical healer also believes the
worst if it can be shown to him as dangerous competition. And like the
Christian, should he seek to take from us any right we have gained, we
shall finish him as well.

We must be like the vine upon the tree. We use the tree to climb and
then, strangling it, grow into power on its flesh

We must strike from our path any opposition. We must use for our
tools any authority that comes to hand. And then at last, the decades
having sped by, we can dispense with all authority save our own and
triumph in the greater glory of the Party.

CHAPTER XV: Proposals that Must be Avoided

There are certain damaging movements that could interrupt a
psychopolitical conquest. These, coming from some quarters of the
country, might gain headway. They should be spotted before they do, and
stamped out.

Proposals may be made by large and powerful groups in the country to
return the insane to the care of those who have handled mental healing
for tribes and populaces for centuries the priests. Any movement to
place clergymen in charge of institutions should be fought on the
grounds of incompetence and the insanity brought about by religion. The
most destructive thing that could happen to a psychopolitical program
would be to entrust the ministry with the care of the nations insane.

If mental hospitals operated by religious groups are in existence,
they must be discredited and dosed, no matter what the cost, for the
actual figures of recovery in such institutions might become known, and
the lack of recovery in general institutions might be compared to them.
This might lead to a movement to place the clergy in charge of the
insane. Every argument must be advanced early, to overcome any
possibility of this ever occurring.

A country’s law must be made carefully to avoid granting any personal
rights to the insane. Any suggested laws or Constitutional Amendments
that would make the harming of the insane unlawful, should be fought to
the extreme, on the grounds that only violent measures can succeed in
their treatment. If the law were to protect the insane, as it normally
does not, the entire psychopolitical program would quite possibly
collapse.

Any movement to increase or place under surveillance the orders
required to hospitalize the mentally ill should be discouraged. This
should be left entirely in the hands of persons well under the control
of psychopolitical operatives. It should be done with minimum
formality, and no recovery of the insane from an institution should be
possible by any process of law. Thus, any movement to add to the legal
steps required in the processes of commitment and release should be
discouraged on the grounds of emergency. To get around this, the best
policy is to place a psychiatrist and a detention ward for the mentally
ill in every hospital in a land.

Any writings of a psychopolitical nature, accidentally revealing
themselves, should be prevented. All factual literature on the subject
of insanity and its treatment should be suppressed, first by actual
security, and second by complex verbiage that renders it
incomprehensible. The actual figures on recovery or death should never
be announced in any papers. Any investigation attempting to discover
whether or not psychiatry or psychology has ever cured anyone should
immediately be discouraged and laughed to scorn, and should mobilize at
that point all psychopolitical operatives. At first, it should be
ignored, but if this is not possible, the entire weight of all
psychopoliticians in the nation should be pressed into service. Any
tactic possible should be employed to prevent this from occurring. To
rebut it, technical appearing papers should exist as to the tremendous
number of cures effected by psychiatry and psychology, and whenever
possible, percentages of cures, no matter how fictitious, should be
worked into legislative papers, thus forming a background of evidence
that would immediately rebut any effort to actually locate anyone who
had ever been helped by psychiatry or psychology.

If the Communistic connections of a psychopolitician should become
known, it should be attributed to his own carelessness, and he should,
himself, be immediately branded as eccentric within his own profession.

Authors of literature that seeks to demonstrate the picture of a
society under complete mental control and duress should be helped toward
infamy or suicide to discredit their works.

Any legislation liberalizing any healing practice should be
immediately fought and defeated. All healing practices should gravitate
entirely to authoritative levels, and no other opinions should be
admitted, as these might lead to exposure.

Movements to improve youth should be infiltrated and corrupted. Left
alone, they might interrupt our campaigns to produce in youth
delinquency, addiction, drunkenness, and sexual promiscuity. Communist
workers in the field of newspapers and radio should be protected
wherever possible by completely disabling, through Psychopolitics, any
persons consistently attacking them. These, in their turn, should be
persuaded to give all possible publicity to the benefits of
psychopolitical activities under the heading of “science.”

No healing group devoted to the mind must be allowed to exist within
the borders of Russia or its satellites. Only well-vouched-for
psychopolitical operatives can be allowed to continue in their practice,
and this only for the benefit of the government or to work against enemy
prisoners. Any effort to exclude psychiatrists or psychologists from the
armed services must be fought. Any inquest into the “suicide” or sudden
mental derangement of any political leader in a nation must be conducted
only by psychopolitical operatives or their dupes, whether
Psychopolitics is responsible or not.

Death and violence against persons attacking communism in a nation
should be eschewed as forbidden. Violent activity against such persons
might bring about their martyrdom. Defamation and the accusation of
insanity alone should be employed, and they should be brought at last
under the ministrations of psychopolitical operatives, such as
psychiatrists and controlled psychologists.

CHAPTER XVI: In Summary

In this time of unlimited weapons, and in national antagonisms where
atomic war with capitalistic powers is possible, Psychopolitics must act
efficiently as never before.

Any and all programs of Psychopolitics must be increased to aid and
abet the activities of other Communist agents throughout the nation in
question.

The failure of Psychopolitics might well bring about the atomic
bombing of the Motherland.

If Psychopolitics succeeds in its mission throughout the capitalistic
nations of the world, there will never be an atomic war, for Russia will
have subjugated all of her enemies.

Communism has already spread across one-sixth of the inhabited world.
Marxist Doctrines have already penetrated the remainder. An extension
of the Communist social order is everywhere victorious. The spread of
communism has never been by force of battle, but by conquest of the
mind. In Psychopolitics we have refined this conquest to the nth
degree. The psychopolitical operative must succeed, for his success
means a world of Peace. His failure might well mean the destruction of
the civilized portions of Earth by atomic power in the hands of
capitalistic madmen.

The end thoroughly justifies the means. The degradation of populaces
is less inhuman than their destruction by atomic fission, for to an
animal who lives only once, any life is sweeter than death.

The end of war is the control of a conquered people. If a people can
be conquered in the absence of war, the end of war will have been
achieved without the destruction of war. A worthy goal.

The psychopolitician has his reward in the nearly unlimited control of
populaces, in the uninhibited exercise of passion, and the glory of
Communist conquest over the stupidity of the enemies of the People.

Lowkey–Obama Nation

Lowkey the man who wrote Obama Nation is a 24-year-old British musician, poet, playwright and political activist of English and Iraqi descent, in an interview on RT News, describes “Obamanation” by saying:

“It was an examination of America’s role in the world. The main purpose of the song was to draw the American people’s attention to the way in which they are perceived by the rest of the world. Because I think they very much live in a bubble — I’m somebody that has travelled the United States quite thoroughly, and the media in the United States, by and large, does not actually show what is really going on and people have genuine grievances with United States foreign policy. Whether a person thinks those military bases should exist or not [earlier in the interview, Lowkey referred to the 1,000 US military bases located around the world], I think it would be very hard to disagree that those military bases represent the building of empire and the expansion of empire. And I am not anti-American, I am anti-empire.”

This is a very powerful video so enjoy it.

Lowkey—Obama Nation Lyrics

This track is not an attack upon the American people,
It’s an attack upon the system within which they live.
Since 1945 the United States has attempted to overthrow more than 50 foreign governments,
In the process the US has caused the end of life for several million people,
And condemned many millions more to a life of agony and despair.

The strength of your dreaming prevents you from reason,
The American dream only makes sense if you’re sleeping,
It’s just a cruel fantasy; their politics took my voice away,
But their music gave it back to me,
The land where the lumpen are consumed by consumption,
Killing themselves to shovel down food in abundance,
I guess a rapper from Britain is a rare voice,
America is capitalism on steroids,
Natives kept in casinos and reservations,
Displaced slaves never given reparations,
Take everything from Native Americans,
And wonder why i call it the racist experiment,
Afraid of your melanin, the same as it’s ever been,
That aint gonna change with the race of the president,
I see imperialism under your skin tone,
You could call it Christopher Columbus syndrome.

Is it Obama’s nation? Or an abomination?
Is it Obama’s nation? Or an abomination?
Is it Obama’s nation? Or an abomination?

Doesn’t make any difference when they bomb your nation.

Oh say can you see by the dawn’s early light,
What so proudly we hailed at the twilight’s last gleaming,
Whose broad stripes and bright stars through perilous fight,
For the ramparts we watched were so gallantly streaming.

Is it Obama’s nation? Or an abomination?
Is it Obama’s nation? Or an abomination?
Is it Obama’s nation? Or an abomination?

Doesn’t make any difference when they bomb your nation.

Oh say can you see by the dawn’s early light,
What so proudly we hailed at the twilight’s last gleaming,
Whose broad stripes and bright stars through perilous fight,
For the ramparts we watched were so gallantly streaming.

The world’s entertainer, the world’s devastator,
From Venezuela, to Mesopotamia,
Your cameras lie, cause they have to hide the savage crimes,
Committed on leaders that happen to try and nationalize,
Eating competitions? while the worlds been starving,
Beat up communism with the help of Bin Laden,
Where would your war of terror be without that man,
Every day you create more Nidal Hassan’s,
Kill a man from the military, you’re a weirdo,
But kill a wog from the Middle East you’re a hero,
Your country is causing screams that never reach your ear holes,
America inflicted a million Ground Zero’s,
Follow the dollar and swallow your humanity,
Soldier’s committing savagery you never even have to see,
Those mad at me, writing emails angrily,
I’m not anti-America, America is anti-me!

Is it Obama’s nation? Or an abomination?
Is it Obama’s nation? Or an abomination?
Is it Obama’s nation? Or an abomination?

Doesn’t make any difference when they bomb your nation.

Oh say can you see by the dawn’s early light,
What so proudly we hailed at the twilight’s last gleaming,
Whose broad stripes and bright stars through perilous fight,
For the ramparts we watched were so gallantly streaming.

Is it Obama’s nation? Or an abomination?
Is it Obama’s nation? Or an abomination?
Is it Obama’s nation? Or an abomination?

Doesn’t make any difference when they bomb your nation.

And the rocket’s red glare, the bombs bursting in air,
Gave proof through the night, that our flag was still there,
Oh say does that star spangled banner yet wave,
For the land of the free and the home of the brave,

I don’t care if him and Cheney are long lost relations,
What matters more is the policies, I lost my patience,
Stop debating bringing race into the conversation,
Occupation and cooperation equals profit making,
It’s over; people wake up from the dream now,
Nobel peace prize, Jay Z on speed-dial,
It’s the substance within, not the colour of your skin,
Are you the puppeteer or the puppet on the string?,
So many believed it was instantly gonna’ change,
There was still Dennis Ross, Brzezinski and Robert Gates,
What happened to Chas freeman? (AIPAC),
What happened to Tristan Anderson?,
It’s a machine that keeps that man breathing,
I have the heart to say what all the other rappers aren’t,
Words like Iraq, Palestine, Afghanistan,
The wars on, and you morons were all wrong,
I call Obama a bomber cause those are your bombs.
